Sportstar takes a look at the major talking points from the match:

TOSUN SCORES STOPPAGE TIME WINNER

Cenk Tosun fired the ball into the bottom right corner from the edge of the penalty box, in the fourth minute of added time to give Turkiye win.

SOUCEK EQUALISES

Coufal long throw-in into the box was flicked towards the goal Soucek. Gunok tried to catch it, but the goalkeeper was blocked by substitute Tomas Chory, who controlled it well and took a shot which was cleared off the line. The rebound fell to Soucek who fired it into the back of the net.

CALHANOGLU SCORES

Kenan Yildiz has his initial shot saved by Stanek. However, Czechia did not clear the danger and Ismail Yuksek got the rebound and rolled a pass down the left to Hakan Calhanoglu who fired his strike across the goal and into the bottom-right corner.

PATRIK SCHICK MISSES NEXT MATCH

Patrik Schick was shown a yellow card while on the bench for dissent. He will miss Czechia’s next match if it advances from the group stage.

ANTONIN BARAK SENT OFF

In the 11th minute of the match, Barak was shown a yellow card for pulling down Yildiz by his shirt. Nine minutes later he was sent off after receiving a second yellow for a late challenge on Salih Ozcan.

PATRIK SCHICK BENCHED

Patrik Schick, who scored against Georgia in Czechia’s previous match to add to his five goals at the last Euros, limped off injured in the game, and is subsequently benched for the crucial clash against Turkiye.

ARDA GULER STARTS

After his stunning goal in the opening 3-1 win over Georgia, Arda Guler was used late off the bench in the 3-0 loss to Portugal as coach Vincenzo Montella worried about keeping him fit.

Guler is back in the starting lineup for Turkiye’s clash against Czechia.
