LEIPZIG, Germany (Reuters) - Turkey wrested the dark horses tag from Austria's grasp in a pulsating Euro 2024 last-16 match on Tuesday, sparking celebrations in Turkish communities around the world, even as far away as Toronto.
Merih Demiral scored both goals in the 2-1 full-throttle victory that injected Turkish fans with hope of another long Euros run after their narrow 3-2 loss in the 2008 semi-finals.
