Despite being brothers, footballers Granit and Taulant Xhaka play for different countries. Their mum dressed perfectly for the occasion.
What's a football-loving mum to do when you've got one son playing for one country, and your other son playing for another?

If you're Elmaze Xhaka, mother of Granit Xhaka, who plays for Switzerland, and Taulant Xhaka, who plays for Albania, you wear one T-shirt for both teams, that's what.

The Xhaka brothers went head-to-head when Albania played Switzerland at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens, France, in the teams' opening game of Euro 2016.
Basel-born Granit, 23, plays for the county of his birth. But his 25-year-old brother, Taulant, plays for Albania, the country where their Kosovo-Albanian parents were born.
Elmaze, therefore, wore a T-shirt showing half a Swiss flag and half an Albanian flag when she turned up to support her sons during Saturday's group A match.
