Czech Republic v Turkey: Euro 2024 – live | Euro 2024

Key events

79 min: Yılmaz goes down clutching the back of his leg. His hamstring? Ah no, as play continues around him, he eventually gets back up and breaks into a sprint.

Share

78 min: Jurásek grafts his way down the left and wins a corner. Coufal prepares to take, only for a shower of plastic bottles and cups to put him off. Eventually he sends it in, and Günok claims.

Share

76 min: …while Turkey swap out their teenagers Arda Güler and Kenan Yıldız for Kerem Aktürkoğlu and Cenk Tosun.

Share

75 min: The Czechs replace Lukáš Provod with Ondřej Lingr.

Share

73 min: From the corner, Güler has a whack from a tight angle on the left. Kovář handles well.

Share

72 min: Yılmaz drops deep and sprays a glorious diagonal pass towards Yıldız on the left. He twists and swerves his way into the box, but can’t get a proper shot away. Leaning back, he does manage to win a corner, though.

Share

70 min: Another long Coufal throw. Turkey can’t deal with them at all. They’re in a flat spin. A Czech foul eases the pressure this time, but you can be sure more of this is coming. And the reason Turkey are flapping? Another goal for the Czechs, and they’ll be the ones heading home.

Share

68 min: A long VAR check for a potential foul on the keeper. But the goal’s eventually given. Quite rightly, too; the keeper attempted to claim but dropped the ball, while the striker did nothing more than jump up next to him. Turkey are livid, though, and reserve keeper Uğurcan Çakır is booked for excessive neck-flapping.

GOAL! Czech Republic 1-1 Turkey (Souček 66)

Coufal throws long from the right. The giant Chorý competes with Günok, who flaps. The ball drops to Soucek, who roofs from six yards! The ten men are level!

65 min: Yılmaz fires a sensational low cross into the Czech box from the right. It’s begging to be tapped in, but Guler swishes thin air. And it’s a costly miss, because what should be 2-0 is now …

64 min: The free kick is sent diagonally towards the far post. Krejčí wins a header that Günok scoops clear, albeit in a slightly unconvincing style. Eventually it’s a goal kick, which Günok takes his sweet time over. He goes into the book.

Share

63 min: Before it can be taken, Okay Yokuşlu comes on for İsmail Yüksek.

Share

62 min: Akaydin and Chorý compete for a high ball to the left of the Turkey D. The former lands awkwardly and winds himself, the latter takes an accidental finger in the eye. It’s a free kick for the Czechs in a very dangerous position.

Share

61 min: … nothing occurs.

Share

60 min: Jurásek tries to release Kuchta down the middle with a cute pass, but his intentions aren’t read. Turkey counter, and Müldür wins a corner down the right. From which …

Share

58 min: Georgia are now 2-0 up against Portugal. Rob Smyth has it all. Unless Portugal can find a couple of goals, England are playing Slovakia on Sunday night.

Share

57 min: Tempers continue to run high. Souček takes issue with the amount of time Guler stays on the floor after a garden-variety foul. The referee tells them both to pipe down.

Share

55 min: Nope, Staněk is helped off. Matěj Kovář comes on in his place. It’s part of a triple change, Jan Kuchta and Tomáš Chorý replacing Adam Hložek and Mojmír Chytil.

Share

53 min: Adding injury to insult, Staněk has hurt himself making that original point-blank save. It doesn’t look as though he’s going to be able to continue.

GOAL! Czech Republic 0-1 Turkey (Çalhanoğlu 51)

Poor Staněk, who makes an astonishing point-blank save from Yıldız, who meets a Yılmaz right-wing cross on the penalty spot, only for his shot towards the bottom left to be blocked by the keeper’s strong arm. But the rebound is reclaimed by Turkey, and it’s worked to Çalhanoğlu on the left. Çalhanoğlu pearls a low swerving shot across the keeper and into the bottom right. Unstoppable!

50 min: Yüksek is booked for a professional-style block on an in-flight Provod. From the resulting free kick, Hložek pings a snapshot from the right-hand corner of the D that takes a deflection but doesn’t fox Günok.

Share

49 min: If both Group F games finish as they are, Turkey will play Austria in the Round of 16. Portugal will take on Slovenia and Georgia will face Spain. The Czechs will go home.

Share

47 min: Çalhanoğlu sends a corner in from the right. It drops to Yıldız, who creams a half-volley over the bar from the edge of the box. A fast start to the half by Turkey.

Share

46 min: A long left-to-right diagonal into the Czech box. Yılmaz heads across the face of goal but there’s nobody in white to tap home.

Share

Turkey get the second half underway. They’ve replaced Salih Özcan with Kaan Ayhan.

HALF TIME: Czech Republic 0-0 Turkey

As things stand, Turkey are going through in second place, while the ten-man Czechs are heading home.

Share

45 min +2: That was a huge chance for Jurásek, who from the left-hand corner of the six-yard box shot softly into Günok’s chest.

Share

45 min +1: The first of three additional first-half minutes features a Czech corner and a game of head tennis in the Turkey box. Turkey eventually clear their lines.

Share

45 min: Guler ships possession in midfield and, with most of his team-mates committed to attack, Czechia counter dangerously. Provod bursts down the middle and sends Jurásek into the box on the overlap. Jurásek shoots from a tight angle but Günok saves well. A huge chance for the ten men to take a shock lead.

Share

43 min: Çalhanoğlu again down the inside right. This time he takes a whack from 25 yards, looking to ram a diagonal riser into the top-left corner. It’s always heading over the bar.

Share

42 min: Çalhanoğlu bustles hard down the inside-right channel and into the Czech box, but Soucek stands firm to ensure he can’t get a shot away.

Share

40 min: You can bet your last pfennig that the Czech Republic will try everything to manufacture a Turkish sending-off. They’re fuelled by a sense of injustice over Barák’s dismissal, and this referee’s patience is on a hair-trigger.
