FOX Soccer NOW: Top 5 goals of Euro 2024 so far

On Wednesday's edition of "FOX Soccer NOW," Jimmy Conrad and Melissa Ortiz broke down the top five goals of Euro 2024 to date.

JUNE 19, 2024 • FOX SPORTS

Scores against Italy Bajrami scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Italy.

Impact Bajrami took advantage of a snafu on a throw-in and blasted it under the crossbar, scoring the quickest goal in the history of the Euro. However, he was invisible afterward as Albania didn't attack much. He registered two goals and two assists with Sassuolo last season.

JUNE 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to see regular minutes Bajrami appeared in all eight of Albania's Euro 2024 qualifiers (seven starts), registering three goals and one assist to go along with nine shots and 17 crosses.

Impact Bajrami is set for a prominent role throughout Albania's Euro 2024 journey, as he was a regular sight on the pitch throughout their qualifying. He is one of their leading candidates to score, if that comes to fruition, as he tied for the team's most goals through qualifying with three.

JUNE 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Stellar in Salernitana game Bajrami scored one goal and assisted once to go with seven crosses (four accurate) and four chances created in Friday's 2-2 draw versus Salernitana.

Impact Bajrami got the call over Matheus Henrique in the midfield and delivered by finding Armand Lauriente in strides on a counter to set up the first goal and then tucking the ball in the empty net following a defensive blunder. He's up to two goals and two assists in the season. He had played just 11 minutes off the bench in each of the last two contests. He has logged six key passes, 14 crosses (five accurate) and nine corners in the last four games.

APRIL 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Provides assist in Empoli game Bajrami assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal), 10 crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Empoli.

Impact Bajrami didn't get the start this time but had a good impact off the bench, pacing his team in deliveries and finding Gianmarco Ferrari for his first assist of the season. He hadn't been particularly productive despite starting in the previous three games. Sassuolo are replacing Domenico Berardi (knee) by committee, and Cristian Volpato got the call in this case. He has logged seven chances created, seven shots (three on target) and 22 crosses (six accurate) in the last four fixtures.

FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shakes off physical problem Bajrami (lower leg) got the start and played an hour in Tuesday's friendly against Bulgaria.

Impact Bajrami limped off early in the previous Euro qualifier, but he didn't leave his national team's setup and managed to recover for the second game on the schedule. He'll be available for Saturday's match against Lazio. He has split time with Samu Castillejo lately, coming off the bench twice in a row. He has scored once and added ten shots (three on target) and four chances created in the last five appearances.

OCTOBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Injured against Czech Republic Bajrami was taken off during the 67th minute of Thursday' 3-0 win over the Czech Republic during the UEFA European Championship Qualifiers with an injury.

Impact Bajrami came off in some pain Thursday and is set to miss Albania's next match against Bulgaria. He is expected to return to Sassuolo, where the forward will be assessed to find out the severity of his injury. He has a goal in eight appearances this season, five of them coming a starts.

OCTOBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

First goal of season Bajrami scored a goal while taking three shots (two on goal), crossing twice (one accurate) and creating a chance during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Inter Milan.

Impact Bajrami found the back of the net in the 54th minute to level the score while tying for the team-high with three shots in the match. The goal was the first of the season for Bajrami, matching his total from last season in 18 appearances after joining the club in January. Bajrami has started all but one Serie A match thus far taking12 shots, creating three chances and crossing 18 times.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes four shots versus Juventus Bajrami won four duels and had four shots (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate), and three corners in Saturday's 4-2 win over Juventus.

Impact Bajrami picked up a decent amount of stats but lacked touch and wasn't involved in any of the four goals. He has recorded nine shots (two on target), two chances created, and 16 crosses (two accurate) in five appearances, but he's still searching for his first point.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Provides spark against Verona Bajrami created one scoring chance and had one shot (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate), and three corners in 25 minutes in Friday's 3-1 victory versus Verona.

Impact Bajrami didn't get the start as Sassuolo went with a more muscular lineup but put up his usual numbers despite his time on the pitch. He has posted three shots (one on target), two key passes, and seven corners in three matches.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet off the bench against Fiorentina Bajrami sent in one inaccurate cross, had one corner, and committed one foul in 32 minutes in Round 38's 1-3 loss to Fiorentina.

Impact Bajrami saw limited action for the third time in the final four matches and wasn't impactful. He took a clear step back compared to last season and the January move to Sassuolo didn't help recapture a full-time role. He logged one goal, one assist, 44 shots (15 on target), and 29 chances created in 37 appearances (15 starts).

JUNE 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Creates four chances in Monza game Bajrami registered three shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate), four chances created, and two corners in Friday's 1-2 loss to Monza.

Impact Bajrami filled in for Armand Lauriente (knee) on the left flank and had one of his most productive showings since joining in January, leading his side in key passes. The teammate will miss the next two games too. He has recorded seven shots (two on target), six chances created, 17 crosses (three accurate), and seven tackles (five won) in the last five matches.

MAY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to register goal involvement Bajrami recorded one shot (zero on goal), nine crosses (zero accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 3-0 loss against Salernitana.

Impact Bajrami recorded nine crosses, the highest in the match. He also completed three dribbles and made two key passes. He has managed 73 crosses this season which is the third highest in the Sassuolo squad. He has managed to score twice and assist once in 30 appearances for the club. His last goal involvement was a goal against Cremonese in March.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Attempts 11 crosses Bajrami had two shots (zero on goal), 11 crosses (two accurate) and nine corners in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Juventus.

Impact Sassuolo was without Domenico Berardi (thigh), allowing Bajrami to shine. Though he did not log an assist, his cross volume helped keep Sassuolo competitive during its upset win over Juventus. Even though Berardi will reclaim his usual role, Bajrami's latest performance could warrant at least a bit more usage consideration across Sassuolo's future games before his loan deal expires.

APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Decides Cremonese game late Bajrami scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target), two crosses (zero accurate), and one corner in 22 minutes in Monday's 3-2 win against Cremonese.

Impact Bajrami didn't get the start this time even though Domenico Berardi was suspended, but he made his presence felt in a big way as he settled the contest in the injury time with a precise cross-shot from the left-hand portion of the box. It's his first goal since joining, and he last hit the net in October. He'll likely serve as a super-sub when they are whole offensively. He notched eight shots (four on target), two chances created, 13 crosses (two accurate), and seven corners in the last five matches.

Sassuolo snatches 3-2 win over Cremonese in Serie A

Cremonese fought back from two goals down and fell short to Nedim Bajrami's stoppage-time winner by Sassuolo for 3-2 in Serie A

MARCH 6, 2023 • Associated Press

Eight crosses in draw Bajrami created one chance, took one off-target shot and had eight crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 2-2 draw at Udinese.

Impact Bajrami was subbed on in the 12th minute Sunday, as he replaced Domenico Berardi who has forced off with a thigh injury. This marked his first significant playing time since joining the side on loan Jan. 31 from Empoli. He played fairly well, as he lead the team in crosses with eight, which also marks his season high. He took four corners in the match as well, created one chance and took on shot which missed the frame. He has just two goal contributions this season but if Berardi is forced to miss any amount of time, Bajrami is worth monitoring given his high volume of crosses and corners taken.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Sassuolo Bajrami has transferred to Sassuolo on loan with obligation to buy from Empoli, the teams announced.

Impact Bajrami didn't have the same prominent role he had in the past this season, tallying one goal and one assist in 19 appearances (eight starts). He could be in for major minutes at this new club, which is on the verge of selling Hamed Traore to Bournemouth, and he's already familiar with the coach. He, Maxime Lopez, and Kristjan Thorstvedt will absorb the playing time.

JANUARY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Provides assist versus Inter Bajrami assisted once to go with two shots (two on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Monday's 1-0 victory versus Inter Milan.

Impact Bajrami returned to the XI after three matches and collected a point by finding Tommaso Baldanzi on a fast break ahead of the game-winning goal, recording his first helper of the season. His contribution has been severely capped by the lack of playing time lately. He'll have to divvy up minutes with Baldanzi, Nicolo Cambiaghi, and Martian Satriano from here on out.

JANUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Creates four chances versus Cremonese Bajrami created four scoring chances and had two shots (one on goal), four crosses (two accurate), and four corners in Friday's 2-0 victory versus Cremonese.

Impact Bajrami paced his side in both crosses and key chances, partly thanks to a few precise corner kicks. He hasn't been as productive as last season, especially in the early going, but he has shown signs of the improvement in the last few final matches when he resumed starting consistently. He has logged one goal, 19 shots (five on target), 14 chances created, and 29 crosses (seven accurate) in 15 appearances (seven starts). Empoli will visit Udinese on January 4.

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Passable in Napoli clash Bajrami had two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and one chance created and logged two interceptions in Tuesday's 0-2 defeat against Napoli.

Impact Bajrami was the busiest among Empoli attackers and the only one to have an attempt on target in a difficult game where they didn't generate much offense. He has logged five shots (two on target), two chances created, and nine crosses (one accurate) in the last five appearances (two starts).
