Austria was the favorite in the Türkiye-Austria match. They took 21 shots during yesterday’s game and produced an expected goals (xG) value of 2.74. However, Turkey pulled off a major suprise, advancing to the quarter-finals by defeating Austria 2-1 in the round of 16 at EURO 2024.

Austria had so many opportunities on that match but they couldn't utilize it but in terms of performance they played very well even more than Turkiye but they weren't fortunate enough, though with the performance of Austria I was thinking at first they will win the match because it was obvious they were more tactical and forceful than Turkiye but I noticed that there defense line was not that strong because that's why Turkiye was able to break them, however I can imagine how frustrating it was for them on that day because they were not supposed to lose the match, however I don't think if Turkiye will be able to survive another round because all the teams that qualified for another round are more stronger than Turkiye.

Yes, we are currently facing quarter-final matches as if we were playing the final of the World Cup. All of these teams are teams that can go to the highest level tours even in the World Cup. That's why the European championship is so competitive. The Netherlands will give us very difficult times with their quality squad, but I hope we will be as lucky as we were in the Austria match and we will advance to the next round. It is exciting that we will go to the quarter finals and watch our team in 1 more match. We beat the Netherlands and France in the past, and we beat Germany in a friendly match. Why shouldn't we beat strong teams again? I believe in our team. Even if they fail, I congratulate them all, at least they gave us the excitement of the Quarter Finals.
