TURKEY DOES IT AGAIN

Turkey pulled off another win in the Eurocup, this time in the quarterfinal of the tournament. The game went all 90 minutes and 28 minutes of overtime without a goal, then Croatia scored. Everyone thought the game was over, including the Croatians. Then Turkey scored in the 122 minute of the game - the latest goal in Eurocup history. Naturally, everyone went crazy - the game was going to penalty. The Croats looked depressed and deflated, while Turkey looked upbeat - then Croatia missed the first penalty. Turkey scored theirs, and then Croatia scored. Turkey scored their second - the score was 2-1 in a best of 5 penalty series in favor of Turkey. Croatia then went ahead and missed their next two penalties, and Turkey made theirs - the game was won, with Turkey on top. It was a ridiculous game to add to two other ridiculous wins - in the last three games, Turkey has won the game in the last 2 minutes. In total, Turkey has led an opponent all of 9 minutes out of more than 300 minutes of game time.

Turkey plays Germany the 25th of June in the semifinal game. Kos Turkiye!
