Euro 2024: Turkiye Upset Austria To Book Quarterfinal Berth
Red Bull Arena: Merih Demiral's double strike was enough for Turkiye to eliminate stubborn Austria 2-1 in a Euro 2024 round of 16 match at Leipzig's Red Bull Arena late on Tuesday.
The Turks had a fairy tale start to the clash, scoring the fastest goal in the knockout stages of the Euro tournament as Austria couldn't clear the ball following a corner, allowing Demiral to tap home the opener just 57 seconds into the game.
Austria responded with furious attacks, but Christoph Baumgartner missed two chances to restore parity. The Austrians struggled to create more chances against Türkiye's well-organized defense and failed to produce clear-cut opportunities before the break. Meanwhile, Vincenzo Montella's side remained dangerous, with Demiral heading over the target following another corner kick, reports Xinhua.
