36 - There were 36 shots in Türkiye’s 3-1 victory over Georgia; the most in a game at #EURO2024 so far, and the most in a group stage match in the competition since Türkiye v Switzerland at EURO 2020 (42). Thrilling.
Pepe will tonight become the oldest player of all time to play at the EUROs:
Pepe, 41 years and 113 days
Gabor Kiraly, 40 years and 86 days
Cristiano Ronaldo, 39 years and 134 days
0 - Portugal versus Czechia is the first game of #EURO2024 to be goalless at half time, while Portugal’s 368 completed passes so far are their most in a half of football at the European Championship finals (since 1980). Patience.
ONE OF THE BEST MATCHES OF EURO 2024!!!
MINUTES AFTER THEIR WINNER WAS DISALLOWED, PORTUGAL’S CONCEICAO PUTS THEM 2-1 UP IN THE 92ND MINUTE OF THE MATCH.
HIS FIRST PORTUGAL GOAL COULDN’T COME AT A BETTER TIME!
Diogo Jota’s potential winner for Portugal was overturned after a VAR review deemed that Cristiano Ronaldo’s shoulder was offside in the buildup.
