ALBANIAN CLUB PARTIZANI Tirana progressed through to the Champions League third qualifying round last night — but only after penalty shootout drama.
Drawing 2-2 on aggregate with Ferencvaros of Hungary after 210 minutes of football, spot-kicks were needed and Partizani goalkeeper Alban Hoxha stepped up first for his team.
The club captain coolly dinked the ball down the middle with a Panenka, before saving three penalties (including that of Hungary skipper Zoltan Gera) as they won the shootout 3-1.
That’s leadership for you.
