Turkey ’s defender Merih Demiral shoots and scores his team’s first goal during the UEFA Euro 2024. — AFP picLEIPZIG, July 3 — Türkiye will face the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 after winning a thriller with Austria 2-1 as both countries reached the last eight of a European Championship for the first time since 2008.
Türkiye were beaten 6-1 by Austria in March and Montella admitted he was hoping to get his own back for that embarrassing defeat.“I denied it yesterday but today I can admit that Austria was the team I wanted so that I could get rid of that stain that as a coach I had on me,” said Montella. Al-Ahli centre-back Demiral became the first European defender to score twice in the knockout stages of a major tournament since Lilian Thuram for France at the 1998 World Cup.
“I believe if the game had gone into extra-time we would have won the game because the Turkish team were exhausted and we had a physical advantage,” Rangnick told reporters.Cody Gakpo and Donyell Malen, with a brace in the second half, eased the Dutch through to the last eight. “We showed a good reaction from the last match and I’m very pleased... We took a step in the right direction today,” said Liverpool forward Gakpo.
