Turkey advanced to the knockout stage of Euro 2024 for the first time in 16 years after a dramatic 2-1 victory over a 10-man Czech Republic. Antonin Barak's early red card hampered the Czechs, despite a spirited equalizer from Tomas Soucek. Turkey's Hakan Calhanoglu opened the scoring, and Cenk Tosun secured the win with a stoppage-time goal. Georgia also progressed as one of the best third-placed teams after a surprising 2-0 win over Portugal, eliminating Hungary. The match was marred by several yellow cards and a post-match altercation leading to Tomas Chory's red card. Turkey will face Austria in the last 16 in Leipzig.
