Turkey defeated the Czech Republic during their last group match to earn a last-16 tie versus Austria thanks to a stoppage-time goal by Cenk Tosun.ย The Czechs pressed for victory during the frantic closing minutes of the match because they needed to prevail in Wednesday's decisive group match to avoid elimination. However, they had defensive lapses, which allowed former Everton attacker Tosun to cut inside and score.

After catching Arda Guler by putting his studs up, Antonin Barak was sent off and received a second yellow card about halfway through the first half, which did not aid the Czech Republic's chances of winning.ย Turkey had trouble breaking through their opponents initially and ended the opening half without a single attempt on goal, but six minutes after the half, their fervent supporters went wild as captain Hakan Calhanoglu's strike into the bottom corner drove the crowd into frenzy.

The Czech Republic had to score to tie the score, and Tomas Soucek, the midfielder for West Ham United, launched home from six yards . After that, it was wide open as both teams went for the win, with Turkey securing it during the 94th minute confirming their place in the tournament.ย 

Right before the conclusion, there were wild scenes between the two teams, with Tomas Chory receiving a red card and another player for the Czech Republic being sent off. However, the players from Turkey were able to enjoy their thrilling victory and eagerly anticipate the knockout stages.
