North Macedonia captain Goran Pandev became the second oldest goalscorer in European Championship history by netting his nation’s first goal at a major tournament in their 3-1 defeat against Austria on Sunday.

Aged 37 years and 321 days, the Genoa forward benefited from a catalogue of errors in the Austrian defence to roll in a 28th-minute equaliser in his side’s Euro 2020 opener in Bucharest after Stefan Lainer’s goal for Austria.

 

Pandev is second only to Austrian Ivica Vastic on the all-time list, who netted against Poland in Euro 2008 aged 38 years and 257 days.
