As Turkey led 2-1 with only seconds left on the clock, Ralf Rangnick’s team threw everything they had at Turkey in a desperate bid to equalize.

In the 94th minute, a menacing cross from the left wing found Christoph Baumgartner perfectly positioned right in front of the goal. The Austrian number 19 leapt high and delivered a powerful header, sending the ball bouncing towards the far corner.

Everyone thought Austria had equalized, but Gunok’s lightning-fast reflexes saw him dive and push the ball out of bounds, denying Baumgartner’s effort and preserving Turkey’s lead.

Gunok’s save not only thwarted Austria, the tournament’s dark horse, but also became one of Euro 2024’s most remarkable saves. The difficulty of the save, combined with the high-stakes moment in the final minute of stoppage time, added to its significance.

Turkey’s thrilling victory over Austria sets them up for a quarter-final clash against the Netherlands. The Dutch team impressed with a 3-0 win over Romania.
