VALON BERISHA MADE history tonight, scoring Kosovo’s first goal on their competitive debut as they came from behind to draw 1-1 away to Finland in a 2018 World Cup qualifier in Turku.
Berisha, a midfielder with Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg, brilliantly converted a penalty on the hour mark at the Veritas Stadium after Bernard Berisha had been fouled in the area.
The goal gave Kosovo a precious point in qualifying Group I after Paulus Arajuuri had put Finland in front from close range in the 18th minute.

Kosovo would have an excellent team if FIFA weren’t dicks. If youre Kosovan and have played for another country you can play for Kosovo, unless you played at EURO 2016. 6 of the squad found out they could play at 3pm today. Both Xhakas, Shaqiri, Januzaj and many more should be eligible
The team is only a day old and they got better player’s than Ireland already!
Januzaj can play, don’t know has he decided to play for them yet
Three of them four uve mentioned played at the euros so they can’t.
Liam, my point is that the arbitrary deadline is pointless. As Kosovo didn’t have any competitive fixtures until last night there shouldn’t be a deadline.
