Winning in extra time, Türkiye enters the round of 16

With the advantage of playing with one more player, Türkiye overwhelmed their opponent and defeated the Czech Republic with a score of 2-1 in the early morning of June 27, entering the round of 16 of Euro 2024 as the second team in Group F.

The Czech Republic must win their final group stage match at Euro 2024 to advance, but facing Türkiye is not an easy task. Having lost a player since the 20th minute due to Barak's red card, coach Ivan Hasek's team could not deploy their tactics as originally planned.

With a big advantage in terms of numbers, Türkiye took the initiative to dominate the game, pushing up their formation to pressure the opponent, but it was not until the second half that they opened the scoring by captain Hakan Calhanoglu in the 51st minute.

However, the Czech players did not give up, strongly fighting Turkey and unexpectedly found an equalizer in the 66th minute by striker Soucek. However, this score was not enough to help the Czechs advance and coach Hasek's team had to risk pushing the attacking formation while being short of players.

Stuck in search of a goal, Czech had to pay the price with a goal conceded in the 90+4 minute of extra time. Starting from a quick counter-attack, Toxun dribbled skillfully on the left wing before turning inside and finishing dangerously past goalkeeper Stanek, sealing a 2-1 victory for Türkiye.

With two wins and one loss after three rounds, Türkiye has the same 6 points as Portugal but is ranked 2nd overall due to inferior sub-indicators. Coach Vincenzo Montella's team will face Austria in the round of 16 of Euro 2024./.
