Merih Demiral shines as Turkey beat Austria to reach Euro 2024 quarter-final

Turkey's Merih Demiral scored twice to lead his team to a 2-1 victory over Austria on Tuesday, securing a place in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals. Turkey will face the Netherlands next after they defeated Romania 3-0 earlier in the day.

Demiral opened the scoring just 57 seconds into the match, the fastest goal in a European Championship knockout match. He added a second goal with a powerful header just before the hour mark. Austria managed to cut the deficit through Michael Gregoritsch midway through the second half, but it wasn't enough to overcome Turkey.
