In the end, Cenk Tosun struck a game-winning goal in stoppage time, but Turkey’s celebration was short-lived.

Post-game brawl

All hell broke loose following the final whistle, as a melee ensued between players from both teams.

Czcechia substitute Tomas Chory received a red card, while yellow cards were also handed to other players.

Even Patrik Schick, the Czech Republic’s injured striker, also got a yellow card.

Turkey enters Round-of-16

Turkey completes the Round-of-16 bracket, and will play Austria in the last 16 on July 2 in Leipzig.

Vincenzo Montella’s side reach the knockout stage in the major tournament for the first time since a run to the Euro 2008 semi-finals.

Meanwhile, Czechia, quarterfinalists in the last tournament, finished at the bottom of the Group F standings.

“We are always focused and hard-working, we deserve this qualification,” said Montella.

“We have suffered some criticism that was not deserved, and we overcame that.”

“I’m used to pressure, I don’t mind it, but I don’t like when pressure is put on my players.”
