Oh, what fun we had. What noise there was, what emotion, what an occasion. Played in a fittingly epic biblical storm, water cascading off the Westfalenstadion roof, Euro 2024’s best night was a wild, wonderful open match that had 103 attacks, 36 shots, three strikes that hit the woodwork, and four goals.
His opposite number, Vincenzo Montella, was celebrating his 50th birthday. “They have given me a beautiful gift,” he said. There was an early dynamism about Turkey, who were roared on by huge support. About the game itself, in fact, which kept gathering pace all the way to the end, bringing goals with it.The first was outrageous, a neat exchange involving Kenan Yildiz, Orkun Kokcu and Ferdi Kadioglu eventually seeing the ball loop to Muldur who struck a volley with the outside of his foot that faded away from Mamardashvili’s hand and into the top corner.The yellow wall, red for the day, erupted.
Thankfully, the half-time break broke nothing. This game had an irresistible momentum of its own, driven by everything, everyone, around it. There was a chance for Yildiz at one end and Giorgi Tsitaishvili at the other. Another dropped for Mikautadze, Turkish bodies thrown before him. Hakan Calhanoglu’s free-kick was pushed away by Mamardashvili. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia poked wide.
