Czech Republic vs Turkey live updates: Euro 2024 knockout bracket set as Turks secure 2-1 win

Yilmaz, at least, appears happy.

Happier than Croatia's Luka Modric, who had to collect his man-of-the-match award after his country were knocked out and received the trophy with a face like stone.

Ferdi Kadıoğlu created five chances for his team-mates against Czech Republic tonight.

That figure is a joint record for Turkish players in a European Championship match, alongside Hamit Altıntop against the Czech Republic and Ayhan Akman against Germany at Euro 2008,

Turkey have progressed from the group stage for the first time since Euro 2008.

That year, they got to the semi-finals.

It's the third time they have reached the knockout stages in their sixth European Championship appearance.

The Turkey team from that 3-2 loss against Germany in the last four in 2008, in case anyone was wondering:

Recber Rustu; Sabri Sarioglu, Mehmet Topal, Gokhan Zan, Hakan Balta; Mehmet Aurelio; Colin Kazim-Richards, Hamit Altintop, Ayhan Akman, Ugur Boral; Semih Senturk. Mevlüt Erdinç, Gökdeniz Karadeniz and Tümer Metin came off the bench.

Rustu, Sarioglu, Aurelio, Altintop, Karadeniz? Quintessential Euros names. Plus, of course, Colin Kazim-Richards. Formerly of Bury, Celtic, and Derby County, among many others.

West Ham's Souček has four goals in his last nine matches for his country, and became the fourth member of their Euro 2024 squad to score a goal at a major tournament, alongside Patrik Schick, Lukas Provod and Tomas Holeš.

The livewire Galatasaray and Turkey attacker Baris Alper Yilmaz was named player of the match.

UEFA's Technical Observer Panel said: "He was a constant threat in the game, carrying the ball into spaces behind the Czech Republic defence and producing dangerous crosses."

Fancy a snazzy graphic illustrating the knockout stage? Here you go.

England will play Slovakia in the last 16 of Euro 2024.

Turkish players, coaches and fans now have six days to get over that and get ready for the last 16. They meet Austria in Leipzig on Tuesday.

Ralf Rangnick’s side are maybe the most system-based in the tournament.

Chaos versus the system should be fun.

Turkey held their nerve in their final group game in Hamburg to beat the Czech Republic and reach the Euro 2024 knockout stages.

The Czechs knew only a win would secure them a spot in the knockouts while Turkey just needed to avoid defeat. In the end, Vincenzo Montella’s side go through to the last-16 where they will face Austria on July 2 in Leipzig.

The Athletic's writers, Elias Burke and Dermot Corrigan, break down the action. Check out their thoughts below.

Full Time: Czech Republic 1-2 Turkey

Czech captain Tomas Soucek and substitute striker, the 6ft 6ins Tomas Chory, were right in and amongst it at the final whistle, going over to Turkey's players at the final whistle, jabbing fingers and making their point known.

Chory was shown a red card - not sure what for - while Vladimir Coufal and Turkey's Arda Guler were booked.

Guler's team-mates drag him away to celebrate. No point getting caught up in all that when you're going through to the knockouts!

Full Time: Czech Republic 1-2 Turkey

By the way, Orkun Kokcu and Kaan Ayhan were booked after the Tosun goal, presumably for their celebrations.

More coming, too...

That's it! That's full-time!

Turkey are through, Czech Republic are out.

And there are scuffles at the final whistle! The players are piling in to each other!
