Match overview
Co-hosts Belgium were sent crashing out as Hakan Şükür’s clinical double secured Turkey’s first EURO finals victory. Despite intense early Belgian pressure, Rüştü’s heroics kept the hosts at bay. De Wilde’s late dismissal compounded Belgian misery, while Turkey celebrated a historic passage to the quarter-finals.
Trivia
Lothar Matthäus collected his 150th cap for Germany elsewhere that night, but Şükür’s brace in Brussels stole UEFA’s headlines. Filip De Wilde became only the second goalkeeper ever dismissed in a EURO finals match.
