The match between Czechia and Turkey was, little by little, becoming a duel to the death between two teams that did not fit in the round of 16 at the same time. Georgia’s victory against the relaxed and qualified Portugal gave them a pass, and transformed the group’s other confrontation into a kill or be killed. And the battle of Hamburg was agonizing, with all the ingredients of the best thriller. Like a good suspense film, the outcome was delayed until injury time, when Tosun gave the Czech Republic the finishing touch, exhausted from rowing against all adversities. Very soon they were left with one less player, because Barak saw two yellow cards in the first twenty minutes. Then they saw how the referee forgave the second warning and therefore the red card to Kenan Yildiz, a youngster with a lot of talent, but who was inexperienced and put his elbow in the face of an opponent just after seeing the first yellow.
The bad news for Czechia did not end and at the start of the second half, Turkey found the goal they deserved due to the depth of AlperYilmaz, who after the break did not tire of putting up dangerous balls. In the end, one of those arrivals was completed by Çalhanoglu, the veteran of a Turkish attack formed by him and the two 19-year-old jewels: Yildiz and Arda Güler, who was once again a starter and showed personality and nerve, in addition to throwing all the plays to stopped ball. The Inter footballer, who was a midfielder suspected of not working and has ended up being a solvent midfielder, relived old times and arrived at the area to score the first goal of the game with the outside of his boot and with his soul.
The Czech goalkeeper, Stanek, had made a brutal save a second earlier and had dislocated his shoulder, but he did not have time to stop the game and received the goal already injured.
Everything was going wrong for Czechia, who moved the bench because they were with ten, losing and eliminated. He didn’t have many arguments, but he did have height, so he put a ball in the area that Chory fought with the Turkish goalkeeper on the moon. The referee saw no foul in that fight and then Soucek took advantage of the rebound to score and give hope to his team.
The effort was titanic, but they had to try, while Turkey feared a second goal that would leave them out of the European Championship. The Czech Republic had to be uncovered and Montella’s group found the verdict, finishing second in the group with Portugal. Maybe he could have sentenced him earlier, he ended up getting mixed up and in the end the thriller ended up being Turkish, and he eliminated the Czechs
