Turkey Stuns Austria in Euro 2024 Thriller, Sets Sights on Netherlands in Quarterfinals

Posted : 03 July 2024

In a thrilling Euro 2024 last-16 encounter, Turkey seized the title of dark horses with a stirring 2-1 victory over Austria, igniting celebrations across Turkish communities worldwide, including as far as Toronto. Merih Demiral emerged as the hero, scoring both goals from Arda Guler's pinpoint corners, injecting Turkish fans with hope reminiscent of their 2008 semifinal run.

 

Despite missing captain Hakan Calhanoglu due to suspension, Turkey showcased resilience and tactical prowess, led by the fearless Arda Guler. Guler's early through ball set up Demiral's lightning-fast opener at just 57 seconds, marking the fastest goal in a Euros knockout game. His performance, including a daring long-range shot and crucial contributions throughout, highlighted his growing stature in European football.

 

Turkey goalkeeper Mert Gunok sealed the victory with a spectacular save, denying Christoph Baumgartner's header in a moment reminiscent of legendary saves in football history. The intense match in Leipzig, where Turkish support resonated loudly despite frustrations over TV coverage, set the stage for Turkey's upcoming quarterfinal clash against the Netherlands in Berlin, promising another gripping chapter in their Euro journey.
