    Robin Smith: The Romanians have been studying the Ray Wilkins 'Play Football Like A Crab' handbook, passing everywhere but forward

    Albania weren't even in the game. They were trying to get into it. The game then changed. Fair play to Albania they stuck at their gameplan.

    Scorer Armando Sadiku has worked tirelessly. It was incredible technique for his goal knowing that the keeper is flapping and coming at you.

    All three of France's games have been goalless at the break. Time to change it?

    It was a disappointing first half. I haven’t been impressed by France. Like the first two games, they’ve been slow in possession and haven’t moved the ball quickly enough. Paul Pogba has been their best player. 

    I’ve been impressed by Switzerland. They’ve made it difficult for France.

    I've no idea how Switzerland are going to stop Paul Pogba when he's in this form. He really has got all the tools in the chest.

    Both managers will be pleased, France have mainly been on top and they've played with drive and intensity. Switzerland need more from Shaqiri and they are getting dominated by Pogba and Sissoko in midfield, so they will have to address that.

    A huge roar as the half-time whistle goes. The Albania fans are going to enjoy a 15 minute party. They are in dreamland at the moment. Can they keep Romania out after break?

    News of that Albanian goal may make the Swiss a touch nervy. A point here sends them through though. 

    Ah no - I was thinking Albania were going to be on four points, not three. Ignore me.

    GOAL - Romania 0-1 Albaniapublished at 43 mins

    Armando Sadiku

    History. Is. Made!

    What a moment for Albania as they score their first goal at a major tournament. It's a good one as well as Ledian Memushaj sends in a pinpoint cross from the left towards the far post, the Romania goalkeeper is caught in two minds and Armando Sadiku rises to nod in.

    The stadium erupts into huge noise as Sadiku races away on one of the wildest, most heartfelt celebrations you will see. What a moment.

    The impetus has rather gone out of this game. Give it to Paul Pogba!

    France only really come alive after 85 minutes though.

    Romania are dominating possession but I'd say Albania have had the better chances, but have just looked a bit nervous in front of the goal. The enormity of the occasion, and what a win could mean, getting to the players?

    Five minutes until half time.

    Ledian Memushaj did absolutely fantastic but he had to pull it back. What a waste.

    It could certainly do with a heavy roller on the surface in Lille. Very uneven. It's getting a bit physical out there as Arsenal's new man Granit Xhaka has his shirt ripped in half in midfield.

    Romania 0-0 Albania

    There are some strong challenges flying in from the Albania players - old school sliding efforts that have had Lawro purring in the commentary box. They're looking good now after a slow start, but so wasteful with their finishing as a low corner is swept over by Migjen Basha. That came moments after Ledian Memushaj's effort was saved.
