After overcoming Austria 2-1 in a thrilling match, Türkiye advanced to the quarterfinals of the European Championship—a first for both nations since 2008. Next up, they'll play the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of Euro 2024. Merih Demiral was Türkiye's surprise hero in the drenching Leipzig match. He gave his team the lead in less than a minute and then hammered in the game-winning header shortly before the hour.

After defeating Romania 3-0 on Tuesday, Vincenzo Montella's team—which was without banned captain Hakan Calhanoglu but was once again buoyed by a large crowd at the Zentralstadion—will play the Dutch in Berlin on Saturday. The 1998 World Cup saw Lilian Thuram of France score twice in the round of 32 in a major tournament; Al-Ahli center-back Demiral became the first defender from Europe to do so.
