Turkey moves on to the Euro 2008 semis after an amazing comeback win over Croatia!
Regulation time decided nothing.
Late in OT, Turkey's goaltender is caught out of position. A Croatian player heads it in. Doom looms for Turkey.
The young Turks on the patio at Sotto Sotto in Little Italy are crushed.
But fortunately for them, Turkey was able to come through with a little pick-me-up.
One of their players blasted the ball to Croatia's top corner (goalie's right) to tie the game with less than a minute to play!
Pandemonium!
It gets better for Turkey. In the shootout, Croatia only pots one to Turkey's three, putting an end to that team's fine tournament.
Here's the BBC match report.
Turkey goes up against Germany, which won handily on Thursday over Portugal, next Wednesday.
