Onto the quarter-finals...
And just like that, the round of 16 is over...
Euro 2024 has been sensational, so far, and now we are onto the last eight, so surely it is going to get better.
Turkey ended this first round of the knockout stages in style by knocking out dark horse Austria in Leipzig.
Merih Demiral was clinical from corners, and then at the back he and his fellow defenders stayed strong to limit the Austrians to a solitary goal.
They will now meet the Netherlands who shipped three past Romania earlier tonight, it was the best they have looked all tournament.
Now we have two days off before the action gets underway again. So, rest up, relax your eyes, and get ready for another cracking round of footie.
It's time to say goodnight for now, but I will see you all in the quarter-finals.
22:01
A date with the Dutch awaits
Well then, next up for Turkey is a match-up with the Netherlands.
It's certainly a winnable one, the Netherlands were brilliant today but were beaten by Austria in the group stage.
If the Turks turn up as they did tonight, I foresee them causing Ronald Koeman's men a lot of problems.
The match is on Saturday night, so we don't have to wait too long for it.
I see it being a cracker!

Chris Sutton: 'This is what football is about'
Chris Sutton, It's All Kicking Off! co-host, on BBC Radio 5 Live:
Imagine if Turkey beat the Netherlands and get a result. This is what football is about, what you're taught about as a kid, unbridled joy. How he saves it is unbelievable, what an unbelievable save and Turkey are through.

'Turkey a force to be reckoned with'
Ian Herbert, Mail Sport, in Leipzig:
So it is Turkey and their carnival who will face the Netherlands on Saturday. They have brought fine football and poor football to this tournament but this energy, this monumental fusion of fans and players, is some force to be reckoned with.
21:24
Gaizka Mendieta: 'Turkey the better team'
Gaizka Mendieta, former Spain international, speaking on ITV1:
I think Turkey deserve to go through. They were the better team on the day. There was no chaos for Turkey today. That early goal set up the game in a different way than we expected to go. They were the better team today.
21:19
SOFASCORE STATS: Austria 1-2 Turkey
Ok, I didn't realise how many shots Austria actually had...
Boy, they pelted them at Turkey, I mean, really did pelt them. 21 in total, but only five on target.
That's compared to Turkey's six in total.
The only statistic that matters though is the scoreline, and that one is in Turkey's favour.
Austria should have been more clinical.
21:06
WATCH: Gunok saves the day
I still can't believe he pulled off this save.
It's almost like time stood still as Christoph Baumgartner connected with that header, it seemed destined for the back of the net.
I will never understand how Mert Gunok reacted so quickly to turn the ball past the post, and right at the death too.
A monumental save.
21:04
Sam Matterface: 'This is a historic moment'
Sam Matterface, commentator, on ITV1:
This is a historic moment and they have got their goalkeeper to thank for it. He is crowded in the goal in front of the Turkey fans because Berlin is calling for the first time in 16 years, they are going to a major tournament quarter-final. They will play the Netherlands in the German capital.
20:58
'Gunok has produced an absolute worldie'
Lee Dixon, former England international, on ITV1:
Fully deserved for Turkey. The wingers came in and they didn't know what to do with them. Full of energy and their goalkeeper has been an absolute rock at the back. Gunok has produced an absolute worldie to send his country into the quarter-finals of the Euros.
20:53
FULL-TIME: Austria 1-2 Turkey
TURKEY HAVE DONE IT!
Every single Turkey player and staff player races over to Mert Gunok ads the whistle is blown for full-time.
They have him to thank that they have won this match, that save right at 6the death ensures they are in the last eight.
Their 16-year wait is over!
20:53
, 94'
WHAT A SAVE! Austria 1-2 Turkey
THAT IS WORLD CLASS, MERT GUNOK!
He somehow produces an incredible save to deny Christoph Baumgartner.
I was sure that the Austrian's header was in, but Gunok pulls out one of the best saves I have seen in a very long time.
That was the chance!
20:52
, 93'
BIG SAVE! Austria 1-2 Turkey
Patrick Pentz keeps Austria in it!
Baris Yilmaz is through, he looks set to fire in a third, but Pentz gets low to his left to deny him.
They aren't dead yet, Austria.
20:45
, 87'
CHANCE! Austria 1-2 Turkey
Christoph Baumgartner is everywhere at the moment, he is trying everything he can to find a leveller.
This time he gets on the end of a cross, but leaning back his header flies over the bar.
Time is running out.
20:41
, 83'
SUBSTITUTION: Austria 1-2 Turkey
Orkan Kocku has been struggling with cramp for the last few minutes and he cannot continue.
Irfan Can Kahveci has been called upon to fill in for the final few minutes.
And they are massive minutes...
20:40
, 82'
CHANCE! Austria 1-2 Turkey
A massive moment goes astray for Austria and Christoph Baumgartner.
Marcel Sabitzer sends in a lovely cross that goes all the way through to the winger, but it bounces heavily off his chest and the ball runs away from him.
A better touch, and maybe they would be level.
20:37
, 78'
SUBSTITUTION: Austria 1-2 Turkey
Sensing they need to stop the assault from Austria, Turkey are making some changes.
Kerem Akturkoglu and Okay Yokuslu enter the fray and replace Arda Guker and Kenan Yildiz.
20:24
, 67'
Goal: Austria 1-2 Turkey (Gregoritsch 67')
Hello, hello... here we go!
Austria take just eight minutes to pull one back and it comes from the boot of substitute Michael Gregoritsch.
He gets on the end of Stefan Posch's flick-on from a corner and smashes the ball into the roof of the net.
Game on!
20:24
, 64'
SUBSTITUTION: Austria 0-2 Turkey
Ralf Rangnick has decided to respond with more changes.
Max Wober and Florian Grillitsch have joined the action, replacing Philipp Lienhart and Konrad Laimer.
Can they make a difference?
20:17
, 59'
Goal: Austria 0-2 Turkey (Demiral 59')
Merih Demiral does it again!
It's almost de ja vu as Arda Guler whips in a delightful corner and Demrial fires in from it.
This time he uses his head, rising above everybody else to guide the ball home from inside the six-yard box.
Could that be the goal to send Turkey through?
20:16
, 58'
SUBSTITUTION: Austria 0-1 Turkey
Now it's time for Turkey to make a change.
Ismail Yuksek is already on a yellow, so he is now being hooked.
His replacement? Salih Ozcan. Another player just one card away from suspension...
20:12
, 54'
CHANCE! Austria 0-1 Turkey
It's all Austria now really, they have ramped it up a level.
Konrad Laimer does brilliantly, waltzes past several defenders and into the box before sliding the ball wide.
It would have been some goal had it gone in.
20:11
, 52'
YELLOW CARD: Austria 0-1 Turkey (Lienhart)
The yellow card is back out of the referee's pocket.
This time it's shown to Philipp Lienhart as he clatters Arda Guler. Fully deserved booking.
20:10
, 51'
BIG SAVE! Austria 0-1 Turkey
That is a massive save from Mert Gunok to keep Turkey in front.
Mark Arnautovic is sent through and you just think he is about to draw Austria level.
But Gunok is out like a flash to smother the attacker and beat the ball away.
20:03
, 46'
SECOND HALF: Austria 0-1 Turkey
Unsurprisingly, Ralf Rangnick has decided to make some changes for the second half.
Michael Gregoritsch and Alexander Prass have been called upon to make change, replacing Romano Schmid, and Phillipp Mwene.
And now the ball is rolling once again.
19:53
19:47
HALF-TIME: Austria 0-1 Turkey
Austria come close just before the whistle blows with Christoph Baumgartner prodding wide.
Just seconds later, the referee calls for the break.
Turkey walk down the tunnel with smiles on their faces as they lead at the interval thanks to Merih Demiral's strike inside 60 seconds.
The first 15 to 20 minutes really were electrifying from both sides, but the pace started to slow as the break approached.
This one has a lot more to come.
19:43
, 42'
YELLOW CARD: Austria 0-1 Turkey (Yuksek)
Yellow cards galore in Leipzig.
Ismail Yuksek is the next Turkey player to go into the referee's book. He halted Christoph Baumgartner as he tried to break away.
It means he would miss the last eight if Turkey make it there.
19:40
, 38'
YELLOW CARD: Austria 0-1 Turkey (Kokcu)
Now a booking for Austria.
It goes to Romano Schmid for a poor challenge on Ferdi Kadioglu. No complaints there.
A little frustration, perhaps?
19:32
'Austria leaving so much space'
Ian Herbert, Mail Sport, in Leipzig:
Hard to believe that Austria beat Turkey 6-1 in Vienna in March. They leave so much space for the Turks to attack into when they turn over possession. Baris Alper Yilmaz could have delivered another deadly blow there.
19:26
, 25'
CLOSE! Austria 0-1 Turkey
Turkey, and Merih Demrial, are causing Austria so many problems from corners.
Arda Gulker curls in a lovely set-piece for Demiral to meet, and he rises to meet it well.
But he can't direct the ball on target, when really he should do better.
19:13
, 11'
YELLOW CARD: Austria 0-1 Turkey (Kokcu)
Now we have a yellow card, it is non-stop action.
Orkun Kokcu hacks down the lightning Christoph Baumgartner, who has been superb in these opening 11 minutes.
It means if Turkey go through, Kocku will be suspended.
19:08
, 6'
CLOSE! Austria 0-1 Turkey
My head is all over the place watching this, it's hard to keep up.
I'm not quite sure how Austria haven't just equalised...
A corner is sent in and misses nearly everyone. Christoph Baumgartner tries to turn it home from two yards out but gets smashed by a Turkey defender. No foul.
Another corner, though.
19:06
'Comical pinball Austrian defending'
Ian Herbert, Mail Sport, in Leipzig:
Austria are supposed to be the fast starters. They have scored during the first 10 minutes in six of their past seven games. But Turkey were ready for them. They hit right back on the first Austrian attack. Comical pinball Austrian defending from the ensuing corner and Merih Demiral slaps the ball in.
19:05
, 2'
SO CLOSE! Austria 0-1 Turkey
Nearly an instant response from Austria!
I can't quite believe what I am seeing here, this is sensational stuff.
Christoph Baumgartner doesn't want to wait long to get his side back on track and fires an effort inches wide of the post.
I thought that was In for a second. Incredible.
19:02
, 1'
Goal: Austria 0-1 Turkey (Demiral 1')
TURKEY TAKE THE LEAD INSIDE 60 SECONDS!
Austria are normally the fast starters, but they have conceded after just 57 seconds in Leipzig.
Merih Demiral sends the Turkey faithful wild, prodding home from a corner after Austria fail to clear.
What a start!
19:00
, 1'
KICK-OFF: Austria 0-0 Turkey
You can barely hear yourself think due to this atmosphere.
There are chants, and there are also jeers. It is extremely loud in there.
The whole crowd roars as Austria get proceedings underway!
18:50
Guler the man for Turkey?
Turkish hopes weigh on this man's shoulders, tonight...
Well, I say man, Arda Guler is more like a child still, he is still only 19 years of age.
But with Hakan Calhanoglu suspended, Guler will be the one expected to drive Turkey into the last eight.
Can he deliver on the big stage?
Quarter-final line-up almost set
Victory for the Netherlands over Romania means there are now seven teams into the quarter-finals.
The line-up will be confirmed after the conclusion of tonight's clash.
Here's how the next round is looking:
France v Portugal - Friday, 5pm
Spain v Germany - Friday, 8pm

Ignore the history re-writers on Rangnick
There has been a lot of talk about Ralf Rangnick and the way he has got his Austria team playing in Germany.
Rangnick, of course, endured a miserable spell at Manchester United and our Football Editor Ian Ladyman has written this piece on why his coaching at this tournament doesn't change that.
Rangnick was a disaster at Man United writes IAN LADYMAN
IAN LADYMAN: Rangnick's Austria have been fabulous to watch and have earned their progress on the back of enthusiastic and cleverly structured football.
