Turkish fans out in force tonight
Turkish supporters are everywhere in Leipzig. They look in the mood tonight… but can their team deliver on the pitch?
How they got here
Austria were among the standout performers in the first phase of the tournament, topping Group D ahead of France and the Netherlands.
Turkey, meanwhile, won a thriller with Georgia and beat Czech Republic in an ill-tempered affair after being soundly beaten by Portugal in their opening game.
Who does the winner face in the next round?
A lot at stake in Leipzig tonight. The winner will face either Romania or the Netherlands – and it looks pretty likely their opponents will be Ronald Koeman’s Dutch team.
