Semih Senturk (No. 9) Equalises
Czech Republic – Although they lose the game with Portugal, they did pose quite a few threats in the earlier part and seems to be able to win Portugal. However, the Ronaldo and Deco had other ideas, overturning the game with their individual flair and trickery. The great Peter Cech was humble by three goals against him.
The great Peter cech humbled.
Verdict – Both teams are equal in points, goals for and goals against on the table. If the score is level after 90 mins, it will go into penalties straight away, no extra time. Whichever team wins the game will go through to the quarter final. The Turks which have struggled so far looks likely to bow out with pride and dignity after this game. The Czechs is simply a class above them. Score: Turkey 0-3 Czech Republic.
Market odds: Turkey (+0.975), Czech (-1/4 +0.9)
