Turkey Advances to Euro 2024 Quarter-Finals

Turkey advanced to the Euro 2024 quarter-finals with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Austria, thanks to Merih Demiral's two goals and Mert Gunok's spectacular last-minute save. Demiral scored the fastest goal in Euros knockout history just 57 seconds in, and added a second goal in the 59th minute from Arda Guler's corner. Austria's Michael Gregoritsch managed to reduce the deficit, but Gunok's incredible reflexes denied Christoph Baumgartner a late equalizer. Celebrations erupted among Turkish fans globally, with hopes high for a repeat of their 2008 semi-final run. Turkey will now face the Netherlands, who defeated Romania 3-0, in the quarter-finals.
