CNN —Teenage soccer sensation Arda Güler, 19, produced a moment of magic to help Turkey beat Georgia 3-1 in an entertaining Group F game at Euro 2024 on Tuesday.
The 65th-minute strike sparked frenzied scenes inside the Signal Iduna Park, with thousands of Turkey fans celebrating arguably the goal of the tournament so far.
It was a devastating blow for Georgia, though, which is making its debut at a major soccer tournament.
Despite being the lowest ranked team at Euro 2024, its players can count themselves unlucky having pushed Turkey all the way in its opening group stage match.
But as the rain poured down onto the exhausted players, it was Turkey celebrating at full-time after a breathtaking match came to an end.
