He couldn’t have struck that any better. Behind 1-0 to Poland in the Euro 2016 Round of 16, Switzerland’s Xherdan Shaqiri put up a perfect bicycle kick from the edge of the 18 yard box to equalize late in regulation.

Simply perfection out of the Stoke player. Entering extra time, Switzerland and Poland is tied at 1-1 and at least another half hour will determine the winner of the first Round of 16 game in this Euro tournament.
