Merih Demiral`s double strike was enough for Turkiye to eliminate stubborn Austria 2-1 in a Euro 2024 round of 16 match at Leipzig`s Red Bull Arena late on Tuesday. 

The Turks had a fairy tale start to the clash, scoring the fastest goal in the knockout stages of the Euro tournament as Austria couldn`t clear the ball following a corner, allowing Demiral to tap home the opener just 57 seconds into the game.
