Co-hosts Switzerland Knocked Out

Euro 2008 co-hosts Switzerland are the first team knocked out of the competition after they lost 2-1 to an injury time winner from Turkey.

The Swiss had started so well taking an early lead when Hakan Yakin tap in on 32 minutes from close range after the ball had slowed on a heavily drenched pitch. Turkey levelled the score when Semih Senturk headed on 57 minutes.

Swiss hearts were finally broken when Arda Turan cut inside and scored with a shot in injury-time which deflected into the goal.

Defeat for Switzerland meant they could no longer qualify for the quarter-finals, but the win has given Turkey a real chance and the game against the Czech Republic will determine who else qualifies from Group A.

Result

Switzerland 1-2 Turkey
