Albania – Divine Intervention

KF Tirana may be top of the Albanian league, but they were becoming concerned about the form of striker Hamdi Salihi.

After a month without a goal from Salihi, club owner Refik Halili decided to take action and drafted in 30 Muslim priests to pray for the end of his barren spell.

And 41 minutes into a match with FK Partizani, Salihi found the net in a 3-2 win, doubling their lead at the top to six points.

"Salihi is a born striker and the fact he had not scored for four weeks had blocked him mentally," Halili said.

"I think I lived up to my duty. God helped him score and Tirana to win."
