Power and placement

Romania versus Switzerland – ‘the big one’.

Okay, okay… as far as Euro 2016 fixtures go, nobody on these shores really gives that much of a shit about it.

But hey, regardless of who’s playing, we can all appreciate someone absolutely smashing an absolute thunderbastard of a shot into the net, can’t we?

And with Romania leading thanks to a first half Bogdan Stancu penalty, that’s exactly what Admir Mehmedi did to draw the Swiss back on to level terms.

With 56 minutes played, the Romnians failed to clear a Switzerland corner. After bouncing once, the Bayer Leverkusen man hammered it into the far corner, giving a hapless goalkeeper no chance whatsoever.

Sure, it wasn’t all that far out, but there’s something very satisfying about seeing someone ping a ball into the goal with such a clean strike.
