Turkey is the national team that gets the last pass to the round of 16 of Euro 2024. On the pitch of the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, the team coached by Vincenzo Montella overcomes, not without difficulty, Ralf Rangnick’s Austria with a 2-1 signed by the brace of an unexpected striker: Merih Demiral. Gregoritsch’s goal in the 66th minute is useless. Next Saturday at 9 pm, challenging Holland for access to the semi-finals will be the Aeroplanino Montella and his Turkey (here is the complete scoreboard of the matches).
“I think they scored two goals from two corners – is the hot comment of the Inter player Marko Arnautovic -. Here are our mistakes. Then we played a great game. We had 21 shots on goal: football is like that. We’re going home and I’m sorry because we didn’t deserve it. Did the weight of the prediction have an impact? I don’t think we were favorites, we have great respect for all the opponents who are strong. As we are”.
“We didn’t have the necessary luck,” said Austrian coach Ralf Rangnick. “I think if the match had gone into extra time we would have won. We had time to score the equaliser, but it’s difficult when you have Gordon Banks in the opponent’s goal.”
