All quarter-final ties now confirmed, Turkey make history and send Austria home

Austria 0-1 Turkey

Turkey now have the earliest goal scorers in knockout rounds at both the European Championships and the World Cup on record.

Merih Demiral’s goal tonight has set the record at the Euros while Hakan Sukur has the World Cup record for his goal after 11 seconds against Korea Republic in 2002.

Fast start specialists on the major international stage!

Austria 0-1 Turkey

The action continues to go at 100mph!

Austria have reacted well to conceding and Philipp Lienhart has come close with a flicked header.

Marcel Sabitzer has also just had a free-kick blocked wide.

For Turkey, Orkun Kokcu has been booked which means if they get through, he will be suspended.

Austria 0-1 Turkey

That is the fastest goal ever in a Euro knockout game, Turkey have made history!

This game is utter chaos!

Austria have had chances too and Merih Demiral has had to clear off the line at the other end after scoring!

We should have had two goals inside the opening five minutes here!

GOAL! Austria 0-1 Turkey: Merih Demiral

WOW! TURKEY LEAD ALREADY!

INSIDE A MINUTE!

MERIH DEMIRAL SMASHES IN FROM CLOSE RANGE!

It’s been an electric start and Turkey won an early corner.

The ball comes straight off the woodwork from Arda Guler before it eventually ricochets back to Demiral who fires in!

Chris Iwelumo live on talkSPORT: “It’s so unlucky! It just comes off the centre-back and Demiral reacts quickest to it and smashes it into the roof of the net.

“There’s so many bodies in front of him and he just hits it, it’s an excellent finish.”
