Austria versus Turkiye LIVE: Turkiye lead after first minute goal in Leipzig
GUNOK’S HEROICS SEE TURKEY HOME IN LEIPZIG
Turkiye kept their Euro 2024 campaign going with a thrilling 2-1 win over Austria to reach the quarterfinals.
Both of their goals came from corner kicks, both whipped in by Arda Guler and both finished off by centre back Merih Demiral. The first effort came after just 57 seconds, with Demiral extending the lead just before the hour.
Austria pinned Turkiye back for the remainder of the half and got back into the match from a corner of their own when substitute Michael Gregoritsch turned in a loose ball at the back post.
With the Turkish players tiring their goalkeeper Mert Gunok pulled off the save of the tournament in the final minute of added time, turning a towering header from Christoph Baumgartner around the post when an equaliser looked certain.
This victory means Turkiye will now face the Netherlands in Berlin on Saturday.
