Yes, the Swiss were knocked out but the Stoke winger could not have done anything more to prevent that.

He meandered through the game until the second-half when he became Switzerland’s driving force on the right side.

Carving out cross after cross, the 24-year-old was a menace before producing a breathtaking scissor-kick equaliser – easily goal of the tournament so far.

He also buried his spot kick in the shoot-out, before his side eventually were dumped out of the tournament.

Shaqiri's Stats

  • 7 - accurate crosses against Poland, more than rest of Swiss team combined (six).
  • 2.5 - crosses per game is the highest for Switzerland at these Euros.
  • 4 - goals at major tournaments for Shaqiri only behind Josef Hugi’s six for the Swiss.
  • 2 - scissors goals in Euros history; the other by Antonio Conte against Turkey in 2000.
