Turkey vs Georgia LIVE RESULT: Real Madrid wonderkind scores goal of tournament contender to win Euro thriller – latest
TURKEY and Georgia played out the match of Euro 2024 so far - but it was Turkey who came away with all three points.
Three of the best goals we've seen in Germany were all scored in this one, with Mert Mulder setting the tone with a stunning long-rage volley to open the scoring.
Georges Mikautadze then equalised for the Georgians, who will feel unlucky not to get a point, with an excellent finish at the near post.
But it was Real Madrid wonderkid Arda Guler who stole the headlines, firing in a brilliant long-range effort to win the match as Turkey held on under late pressure to win - Georgia hitting the post - before they scored a third with the last kick of the game.
