Turkey Secures Victory Over Austria in Euro 2024 Round of 16 Clash

By Nr Arinze Apexwxld

Turkey etched a historic moment in their European Championship journey with a thrilling 2-1 win over Austria in the round of 16.

Turkey and Austria

The hero of the night was none other than Merih Demiral, who scored a pivotal brace, propelling the Crescent-Stars into their first Euro quarter-final in 16 years.


The game kicked off with high intensity, as Austria launched an early offensive, only to fall behind within a minute. Arda Güler's corner created havoc in the Austrian defense, leading to Demiral calmly slotting the ball into the net after Patrick Pentz's initial save.


Both teams displayed attacking flair, but it was Turkey who capitalized on their expertise in set-pieces. Another dangerous corner from Güler found Demiral, whose powerful header doubled Turkey's advantage, leaving Pentz helpless.


Despite the deficit, Austria fought back courageously, with Michael Gregoritsch's goal from a Marcel Sabitzer corner setting up a tense finale. As Austria pushed for an equalizer, Turkey's defense stood firm, supported by a crucial last-minute save from goalkeeper Mert Günok.
