Everything is in our favor! Our opponent, Czech Republic, has been reduced to 10 players.

Turkey faced Czech Republic in their 3rd and final match of Group F in the 2024 European Football Championship. In the 20th minute of the match, Romanian referee István Kovács showed a red card.

CZECH REPUBLIC DOWN TO 10 MEN IN 9 MINUTES

Antonin Barak, who had received a yellow card in the 11th minute for Czech Republic, was shown a second yellow card and subsequently a red card after fouling our national player Salih Özcan just 9 minutes later, leaving his team with 10 men. Our opponent Czech Republic will play with 1 player less for the remaining minutes.

Here is the tackle by Barak that led to his second yellow and red card;

1 POINT IS ENOUGH FOR SECOND PLACE

The National Football Team will need 1 point to secure second place in the group. The crescent-star team will finish the group in second place regardless of the result of the other match and will advance to the Round of 16 with a victory or a draw. If the national team loses against Czech Republic, they will have to rely on Georgia losing points against Portugal for a chance to finish third in the group. In such a scenario, if Turkey finishes among the top 4 third-placed teams in the 6 groups, they will still have a chance to advance to the next round. If the national team loses and Georgia wins, the crescent-star team will be eliminated, finishing last in the group.
