Turkiye secured their spot in the knockout stages of Euro 2024 with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Czechia at Volksparkstadion. Despite early challenges from the Czech team, including a deflected shot from Barak that tested goalkeeper Gunok, their fortunes quickly turned sour. Barak received two yellow cards in just nine minutes, reducing Czechia to ten men, marking the quickest red card in Euro history.
In the second half, Turkiye capitalized on their numerical advantage when captain Calhanoglu fired a precise low shot into the bottom-right corner, giving his team the lead. Czechia fought back valiantly, with Soucek leveling the score after a goalmouth scramble. However, it was Turkiye who had the last word as Tosun, coming off the bench, unleashed a powerful strike into the same corner to seal the win.
The match was marred by further disciplinary issues as Chory of Czechia was shown a red card after the final whistle for violent conduct, adding to the tension of a contentious encounter. Despite creating more chances with an xG of 1.52 compared to Turkiye's 1.37, Czechia's Euro 2024 journey comes to an end, while Turkiye now look ahead to their next challenge in the knockout stage.
