Prayer
When star striker Hamdi Salihi of Albanian league leaders SK Tirana failed to score for a month, the club took drastic action.
Owner Refik Halili decided to enlist the help of 30 Muslim priests to pray all week for the goal drought to end - and it worked.
Salihi scored his side’s second goal in the 3-2 derby win over Partizani.Halili said: “Salihi is a born striker and the fact he had not scored for four weeks had blocked him mentally.
“I think I lived up to my duty. God helped him score and SK Tirana to win.”
