FINISHED

Turkey, by beating Austria (2-1), obtained the last ticket for the quarter-finals of the Euro, where it will meet the Netherlands, thanks to a double from Demiral and a final save from Gönuk.

THE ESSENTIAL

Turkey beat Austria 2-1 on Tuesday in Leipzig and qualified for the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 where they will face the Netherlands, who beat Romania (3-0). The full quarter-final table
For this last eighth of the final, the Turks relied on their defender Merih Demiral, who scored one of the fastest goals of a Euro after 57 seconds, before doubling the lead in the 59th minute.

The complete quarter-final table

Spain-Germany, Friday July 5 at 6 p.m.
France-Portugal, Friday July 5 at 9 p.m.
Switzerland-England, Saturday July 6 at 6 p.m.
Netherlands-Türkiye, Saturday July 6 at 9 p.m.

It’s finish !

After a final corner kick from which Pentz stepped up, Turkey qualified for the quarter-finals of the Euro and will face the Netherlands!

The Turks won in the corner session: a double from Demiral on corners from Güler allowed them to take the lead over Austria, who scored once from a corner by Gregoritsch.

We will also remember the final save by Günok, already a legend in Turkish football, at least.

90+4′

WHAT A STOP BY GÜNOK!!!!

THE ONE FROM THE TOURNAMENT?

On a final header that bounces on the ground, the Turkish goalkeeper relaxes well and slams the ball away. Legendary!

90+3′

YILMAZ BUTTS ON PENTZ!

The Turk had made a long sprint, a nice hook, but could not find a good enough angle and his strong shot was pushed away.

90+3′

Whistles from Turkish fans

The Austrians are spinning without knowing what to do.

90+1′

It’s a fight in the Turkish box

The balls are raining down as much as, uh, rain right now. And the Turkish defenders are heroic so far.

89′

Yilmaz sends a potato at a tight angle!

It was off target, even though there were teammates in the middle. We almost said “no regrets, the flag had gone up”, but it seemed like it was almost offside…

88′

Pentz takes time to come out

He finally slides to tackle a deep pass far away.

87′

Austrians squat in Turkish camp

But it’s tough against the low block, even if Gregoritsch does some good.

84′

Günok was too short this time!

But his exit undoubtedly bothered Baumgartner, who did not hit the target with his header in the empty goal!

83′
CHANGE DUE TO INJURY

Kökçü looks injured

He appears to have hurt himself while clearing a ball and is immediately replaced by Kahveci.

81′

ANOTHER HOT ACTION FOR AUSTRIA!

The ball sails to the far post to Baumgartner, whose control is too long. A defender clears it on his chest and he gets the six-yard box.

78′
TACTICAL CHANGE

Double Turkish change

Güler, who took the two corners that ended in goals, and Yildiz are replaced by Yokuslu and Akturkoglu.

75′

Grillitsch long-range weapon

In the rain it is tricky, especially since the shot is floating. But Günok is vigilant and catches.

74′

Günok relieves his defense on corner

Great punch as the Turks come under heavy pressure again.

72′

The Turks attack at 2

It’s a shame because Yilmaz crosses back without looking and there’s absolutely no one in the box.

69′

It is raining heavily now

And it promises even more drama, with another Austrian header ending up in the goalkeeper’s gloves.

22:26
TACTICAL CHANGE

Rangnick continued his coaching

Before the goal, Grillitsch and Wöber replaced Laimer and Lienhart.

66′
AIM!!!

AND GREGORITSCH Narrows the GAP!

ON CORNER TOO! THE GOAL OF HOPE FOR THE AUSTRIA: A HEADER AT THE FIRST POST, GREGORITSCH WHO SURPASSES WITH A FOOT AT THE SECOND! 2-1!

63′

Turkish fans are obviously on fire

We only hear them. Which was already not far from being the case before.

59′
AIM!!!

DEMIRAL FOR THE DOUBLE!

AND WHAT A CORNER STILL PERFECTLY STRUCK BY GÜLER AT THE FIRST POST! 2-0 FOR TURKEY!

58′
TACTICAL CHANGE

Yüksek is replaced

Özcan replaces him.

56′

Arnautovic misses the target with his lob

He was out of the game and probably knew it, but that didn’t help confidence.

54′

Posch can’t arm properly!

The Austrians are becoming more and more dangerous, with a presence in the box and players who arrive with a good start.

53′

This time, Laimer tries to do everything by himself.

Great breakthrough, but the midfielder slips when he shoots at the edge of the area.

51′

ARNAUTOVIC MISSED HIS DUEL!

What control and what a pass from Laimer, who offers a duel to his captain. But Arnautovic does not poke the ball above the goalkeeper and stumbles upon it!

50′

Gregoritsch is on the receiving end of a long cross from Posch

It’s hard to put in the power despite everything, but the attacker will allow Arnautovic to be supported and to put in the size.

47′

Austrian opportunity right away

The shot goes wide, but the ball appeared to have been centred from outside the field.

46′
REPRISE

Here we go again, with a double Austrian change!

Mwene and Schmid are replaced by Prass and Gregoritsch.

21:48
HALF TIME

It’s the break !

Turkey made the difference early in the match, scoring after 2 minutes from a corner.

The set pieces were also dangerous at the start of the match, as were the Austrian high recoveries.

But the Turks settled defensively, and it’s been a little less heated since then.

45+2′

Baumgartner is almost surprised to be able to shoot

A low cross crosses the defense and reaches his foot, which he opens without finding the frame.

45′

It’s more chopped

We often see fouls and players on the ground.

42′
YELLOW CARD

Yüksek also receives a yellow card

His legs hook those of an Austrian who had passed in front of him/

38′
YELLOW CARD

Warning for Romano Schmid

Snap along the line on a transition.

38′

Long touch for Austria

This brings a bit of danger, with a ball taken and which falls like a bell in the surface, but Mert Günok reads well and comes to catch it.

37′

How difficult it is to create something in attack for the Austrians

The Turks know how to be aggressive in their own 30 metres.

34′

Austria struggles against tight block

The Reds are doing a lot of fruitless rotation, and are being whistled by the opposing supporters.

30′

Little weak time

So much the better for the Turks, who lose the ball less quickly and can breathe by keeping it a little.

27′

Yilmaz tries the little bridge again

This time, the defender does not let himself be fooled and Austria has a chance to counterattack, which does not work out.

26′

Yilmaz’s Super Overflow

Even though he sent a cross a little too far back, the Galatasaray winger managed a magnificent little bridge move.

25′

Güler still works the corners well

Two in a row: the first is cleared for a corner, the second is taken and goes just over the top of the skylight.

21:22

Merih Demiral joins a short list

There are now 6 players who have scored at the Euro while playing in a non-UEFA championship.

19′

Guler attempts lob from midfield

The Turks are having trouble settling into the opposing camp, so they have to try something else. It goes way off the mark.

18′

Austria is spinning

Turkey runs after the ball, without its block being put in too much difficulty.

14′

Danso clears a difficult ball

A strong low cross in front of the goal, which doesn’t worry the Lens player that much.

13′

The choreography of the Austrian supporters on the corners is worth noting.

Their protégés attack in front of them, and always have a goal to come back to.

12′

Sabitzer’s free kick is blocked by the wall

The ball, however, ends up for a corner.

11′
YELLOW CARD

Kökçü is warned

He will miss a possible quarter, but above all offers a free kick about thirty meters from the goal.

21:10

We saw the fastest goal in the history of the Euro knockout stages

And the second fastest in the history of the competition (behind Bajrami’s during Albania-Italy this year!).

7′

Liehnart is alone on a corner

His header goes over, but it promises to be a spectacle if every set piece is a goal ball.

5′

HOW DID AUSTRIA NOT EQUALIZE?

Corner also taken inwards, which flies in front of the goal line without any of the three Austrians managing to push it into the back of the net!

5′

The Austrians are not stunned

They win high balls and go forward whenever possible. It looks promising!

3′

Baumgartner sends a shot from the edge of the area in quick succession

The trajectory finally escapes the goal while the goalkeeper seemed beaten. It starts strong!

2′
AIM!!!

TURKEY SCORES FROM THE FIRST CORNER!

Corner with the inward trajectory of Arda Guler which is not taken by any teammate, but ends up on the player on the line. He clears to a teammate, the goalkeeper saves and the ball on Demiral who hits hard!

1′

Already a player launched in depth on each side

The Turkish goalkeeper comes out in front of Sabitzer, then an Austrian defender puts it out for a corner.

1′

The Austrians were allowed to stay in red

The Turks are all in white.

1′
KICK-OFF

Let’s go !

Kick-off by Austria!

20:57

The Austrians are also well represented

But their anthem is softer, and it’s hard to compare the two fanbases in sound.

20:55

It’s anthem time!

We hear that the Turks are out in force, especially since all the supporters are singing.

20:05

RB Arena acquired for the cause of the Turks
