Goodbye for now
That’s it for the last 16 stage at Euro 2024.
And what a way to round out this phase of the competition.
Turkey have knocked much-fancied Austria out of the tournament and will now face the Netherlands in Berlin on Saturday.
Thanks for joining our coverage of this game in Leipzig. From me, Adam Hancock, and Kevin Hand, it’s goodbye.

Netherlands await for Turkey
The final quarterfinal tie has been decided, with Turkey securing themselves a tie against the Netherlands in Berlin. Those sides last met in World Cup qualifying back in 2021, with the Netherlands winning 6-1 in Amsterdam.
Strangely enough, that was the same scoreline that Turkey lost by against Austria in a friendly earlier this year.
Could that be an omen?

Disappointment for Austria
Ralf Rangnick’s side have played brilliantly in this tournament, pulling off some superb results, including a 3-2 win over Netherlands in the group stage.
Many people were tipping them as a dark horse for the tournament. But they have been dumped out in the last 16 and must now head home.
Knockout football is a cruel game.

Turkey march on
It was a tough ask for Turkey against an in-form Austrian team, but Vincenzo Montella pulled of a coaching masterclass as his side booked their spot in the last eight.
Great scenes in Leipzig as the Turkish players celebrate on the pitch while their fans sing and dance in the stands. Given the large Turkish community in Germany, there could be quite the party tonight.

Gunok saves the day
It’s hard to emphasise just how good that Gunok save was at the end.
It will be talked about long into the night by the Turkish fans – after they have stopped celebrating, that is.
It could well be a wild night in Leipzig.
WHAT. A. SAVE!

What a save from Gunok!

Turkey break at speed
Turkey break at lightening speed, with Yilmaz slipped in.
It’s a foot race between the Turkish player and Pentz, and the Austrian keeper wins, sliding to claim the ball.
This is a frantic finish.

Another change for Turkey
Kokcu looks in some discomfort, suffering from either a cramp or an injury. It’s hard to tell.
He limps off to be replaced by Irfan Can Kahveci.

Sabitzer struck by an object
It appears that Sabitzer was struck by an object while taking a corner a short while ago. Both sets of players have been targeted at corners.
