When Ivan Klasnic headed in Luka Modric’s cross with a minute of the overtime period to play, Croatia looked to have booked their place in Wednesday’s semi-final against Germany. However, for the third game running, Turkey sensationally hit back at the death to force the first shoot-out of these finals when Semih Sentürk drove in from the edge of the area. They went on to win 3-1 on penalties after Rüstü Reçber saved Mladen Petric’s kick following earlier misses from Modric and Ivan Rakitic. Turkey coach Fatih Terim, though, will struggle to get a team together to play Germany with Emre Asik, Tuncay Sanli and Arda Turan all suspended along with Volkan Demirel after being booked here.

International football proved itself yet again to know no boundaries when it comes to cruelty, as Croatia were sent packing from Euro 2008 by Turkey in the most astonishing circumstances. If football was run on a basis of commonsense like most other sports, and timed matches offically rather than leaving it up to one individual’s watch, Turkey would now be on their way home. Instead they scored the latest goal ever in the history of the European Championships, 121 minutes and 4 seconds into the match, which was 4 seconds after their time should have been up.
It was astonishing finish to a dreadful game, especially for Turkey keeper Rustu, who made an awful error that looked to have given Crotia victory before his free-kick set up Semih for the leveller as referee Roberto Rosetti prepared to blow the final whistle.
Croatia coach Slaven Bilic, who had celebrated what he thought was a famous victory with his players only seconds earlier, could not lift his deflated players and they looked a beaten side even before the penalty shoot-out.
And for our turkish friends:
