Sam Matterface: 'This is a historic moment'
This is a historic moment and they have got their goalkeeper to thank for it. He is crowded in the goal in front of the Turkey fans because Berlin is calling for the first time in 16 years, they are going to a major tournament quarter-final. They will play the Netherlands in the German capital.

'Gunok has produced an absolute worldie'
Fully deserved for Turkey. The wingers came in and they didn't know what to do with them. Full of energy and their goalkeeper has been an absolute rock at the back. Gunok has produced an absolute worldie to send his country into the quarter-finals of the Euros.

'What a first half'
What a first half. A wild, raw, febrile night of tournament football as it should be - teams playing as if their lives depended upon it and many, many people, painting the stadium red, frantically jumping up and down.
Austria have come here with their pressing method but the Turkish energy has prevented them from employing it. In turn, the Turks have exploited the big spaces Austria leave space behind with their high defensive line. I feel there are more goals in this but the first 45 minutes have been a huge statement by Turkey.

'A seriously good match'
I must confess to wanting Austria to win – if only because they’re my dark horses. And they’ve responded to going behind like a bolt of electricity. They’ve gone close off successive corners.
This is a seriously good match. Makes the England and France games look like slow-drying paint. Hard to take your eyes off it

'Comical pinball Austrian defending'
Austria are supposed to be the fast starters. They have scored during the first 10 minutes in six of their past seven games. But Turkey were ready for them. They hit right back on the first Austrian attack. Comical pinball Austrian defending from the ensuing corner and Merih Demiral slaps the ball in.

'Real beauty' in stadium
I’ve been to a lot of the Euros 2024 venues but, Berlin’s Olympiastadion side, I think this is the most beautiful and atmospheric. A new purpose-built stadium created within the outer shell of the distinctive old Communist exterior.
The old building’s narrow corridors and 1970s décor form part of the media facility here. Hope you agree that there’s a real beauty in the old east German facade.

Austrian fans believe
A huge sense among the Austrians here that a win tonight might be their destiny – Leipzig is the spiritual home to coach Ralf Rangnick, who had two spells at the helm here, in the 2015/16 season and in 2018/19 before taking the sporting director’s role at Salzburg. Much of the success and growth of the club side who play here is down to him.
The Turks have the greater amplification, though – drowning out the noise of the stadium announcer who reads out the Austrian team. That noise has been a driving force for the Turks. But critically, they are without their creative maestro Hakan Calhanoglu. The Inter Milan central midfielder is suspended, having picked up two yellows.
