Match 1: Austria vs Turkey
Match Analysis: Austria look to continue their campaign at Euro 2024 when they take on Turkey in the round of 16 in Leipzig, Germany.
In the final match of Group F, Turkey won 2-1 against the 10-man Czech Republic. Turkey qualified for the round of 16 with six points as group runners-up.
Meanwhile, in the final round of Group D, Austria defeated the Netherlands, who have a luxurious backline, 3-2 to advance to the knockout round of 16 as group winners.
As the Czechs chased a goal that could see them progress, Turkish substitute Tosson dodged two tired left-backs and fired a fierce shot from inside the far post.
This sparked cheers from most fans at Hamburg's Volkspark Stadium, although it also led to clashes between players and substitutes who ran onto the pitch. Czech striker Thomas Sauli was shown a red card after the clash and captain Thomas Soucek and Turkey's Güller were both shown yellow cards.
It was a busy night for Romanian referee István Kovac, who sent off Czech midfielder Antonín Ballack in the 20th minute. Ballack received his first yellow card for a tactical foul in the 11th minute, followed by a second for stepping on Saleh Ozcan's foot.
But it encouraged the Turkish team to launch wave after wave of attacks. Kenan Ildiz, Hakan Calhanoglu and Güller have caused serious problems for the Czech team's defence.
The Czech offense was without star player Patrick Schick, who did not recover from a calf muscle injury. Schick was booked for protesting on the bench. This is his only contribution.
Calhanoglu broke the deadlock with a low shot from inside the far post in the 51st minute. Czech goalkeeper Starniek made a brilliant save to keep out Yuksek's attack, but he couldn't keep out Calhanoğlu's powerful attack.
Starniek suffered a clear shoulder injury on the first save and was unable to continue playing. Bayer Leverkusen reserve goalkeeper Kovar came on in his place.
In the 66th minute, the Czech team threw the ball vigorously, and goalkeeper Gynoch was interfered with by Jory when he picked up the ball, and Soucek scored in the chaos! Through VAR, the referee blew for a valid goal and the Czech Republic equalized 1-1 Turkey.
In the 94th minute, the Turkish team's counterattack opportunity was more and less in front, Kokku shared the ball, and Toson scored after horizontal dribbling in the penalty area. In the end, Turkey won 2-1 against the 10-man Czech Republic.
—— Why Turkey Wins ——
Turkey head coach Vincenzo Monteira knows that without his captain Hakan Calhanoglu and defender Samit Akayden, he will have to work a miracle in the round of 16 against Austria, who he considers to be one of the best teams in Euro 2024.
Turkey picked up a staggering 11 yellow cards in their final match, with Calhanoglu and Akayden suspended on Tuesday for accumulating yellow cards.
Montella said, "I've always wanted every favorite to be selected. 'We won't have two key players, they're irreplaceable. Of course, this does bother me a bit...... But I do believe there will be players who are ready to step in and do their job. ”
Montella pointed to his team's attacking results in the group stage as reasons for optimism. They scored five goals from five different players and finished third in the Euros. None of them were own goals or penalties. Turkey also ranked third in total shot percentage, averaging 16.67 shots per game.
'So I think we did a good job in possession and we did well in front of goal,' Montella said
Despite this, the Turkish head coach knows that Austria are a formidable opponent. Austria beat his side 6-1 in a friendly in March and finished top of the European Championship group which included France, the Netherlands and Poland.
Austria are a complete team, they are perhaps the best team in the team, they are a team that can attack consistently and aggressively on the pitch and their transition ability is excellent. Also able to identify all the different game situations.
Montella wants 'Turkey's Messi' Alda Güler, who became the youngest player to score on his European debut at 19 years and 114 days, a previous accolade for Cristiano Ronaldo.
'He's a very talented player. It's something that everyone can see," Montella said. 'Of course there are aspects of his game that need to be improved but it's hard to rule him out because as you can see on the training pitch, when you see those guys who shoot and score, he's the best of them.
So far, Olkun Kirkqu has been a big part of the Turkish team's success. He has two assists in the game so far but has also been booked. He has already started two games and was a substitute in the other. Kirkqu has been a heavyweight scorer in the competition, with six shots on goal so far and two on target. That puts his expected goal value at 1, but he hasn't scored yet.
Defensively, Cadioglu have been solid. Cardioglu had six interceptions and eight successful tackles. Mert Guenok is likely to continue to start in goal. He played in two games, allowing opponents to score two goals out of the expected 2.7 goals. So far, Guenoch has blocked eight of his ten shots on goal. Bayndil also started once, allowing opponents to score three goals, three shots on target and one save. Own goal on the other goal. In any case, the defense has to be excellent to keep going in the game.
Turkey, who reached the semi-finals of Euro 2008 with their best result to date, travelled to Germany and are optimistic about reaching the quarter-finals again.
—— Why Austria Won ——
Austria is led by Christoph Baumgartner. He had one goal and one assist in the game, but only started two of the three games. Baumgartner was third in the team on goal with just three shots, but all three hit the target, which gave him an expected goal tally of 0.7. He was also strong in passing, completing more than 80 per cent of his passes, as well as eight offensive passes and 14 progressive passes.
Marcel Sabi also had a goal on his side. He put the most pressure on the defence so far, with 9 shots on goal and 3 on target so far. Meanwhile, Marko Arnautovic, Romano Schmid and Fengt Trauna also scored for Austria in the game. Both Schmid and Trauner did it with just one shot on goal.
The goalkeeper is Patrick Pentz. He has conceded four goals to his opponents so far, but that's on the expected value of three. Part of that was due to their own goals, as he has saved five of his eight shots in those games so far.
—— Forecast ——
The Turks did win their final game, but they did a miracle in the final moments to overcome the Czechs, who played with 10 men for most of the game. Austria went through a tougher path in the group stage of the European Championship and withstood the challenge. It should be a quality game, but the Turkish team didn't have enough attacking firepower to keep up with this game. Austria will win in regulation time.
