Turkey held their nerve in their final group game in Hamburg to beat the Czech Republic and reach the Euro 2024 knockout stages.
A red card produced by Romanian referee Istvan Kovacs after 20 minutes — the quickest in Euros history — curtailed a promising start from the Czechs.
The action started in the 11th minute when Antonin Barak was handed a yellow card for a pull on Ferdi Kadioglu.
And he was awarded a second yellow, and his marching orders, under 10 minutes later.
However, the task was made significantly harder after Antonin Barak was handed his marching orders for a second yellow card.
