Thanks for joining us.

A goal of the tournament contender from Turkey’s teenage sensation Arda Guler helped seal an opening victory over debutants Georgia in the most entertaining game so far at Euro 2024.

Mert Muldur’s volleyed opener was cancelled out by Georges Mikautadze in the first half before Guler’s exquisite strike and a last-gasp counter-attack finish from substitute Kerem Akturkoglu ended any chance of a shock Georgian win on their major tournament bow.

But Willy Sagnol’s side proved they belonged at this level in a thrilling encounter in dreadful conditions in Dortmund, where both sides hit the woodwork in a combined 37 efforts over the 90 minutes.

Turkey go top of Group F for now, with Portugal set to face Czechia later on Tuesday.

The night is Turkey's! With all 11 Georgia players in the box looking for a dramatic late leveller from a corner, Turkey win the ball and strike on the break, leaving substitute Akturkoglu with the simplest of tasks to run it upfield and pass into an empty net.

Incredible scenes at the death as a deep free-kick is floated into a busy box and comes all the way through to smack the far post! Turkey manage to rush it clear but Georgia are pushing hard.

Kvaratskhelia's quick feet get to work again as he gets to the byline and puts a cross in the box, but with two Georgia players there, Kochorashvili can only fire wide. Will they get another chance?

Can Georgia dig an equaliser out of the fire?

Altunashvili on for Mekvabishvili.

Two of the subs combine for Turkey as Celik dinks a delightful cross in for Yazici, whose header is pushed away by a leaping Mamardashvili.

Everything has slowed down a bit, but Turkey will be more than happy about that.

The subs continue to roll on as Celik and Akturkoglu come on for Muldur and Yildiz.

A huge ovation for the teenager, who comes off for Yazici. Demiral is also on for Ayhan.

Lochoshvili for Tsitashvili.

Davitashvili is on for Chakvetadze.

So close to an equaliser! Kochorashvili does brilliantly to nip around a defender into space in the box, but his finish clips the top of the crossbar with only the keeper to beat.

Oh, that's a big chance gone begging for a Turkish third. Yilmaz does well to lead the charge and then feeds Kadioglu down the left, but the left-back is too selfless and tries to cut it back to Kokcu when he really should've just taken a shot. Kokcu can't control the pass and the moment is gone.

Whaaaaat?! Arda Guler, that is OUTRAGEOUS! The Real Madrid man has shown flashes of his ability tonight, but right there is a punch-in-the-stomach, make-no-mistake underlining of the point.

He batters the ball into the far top corner from a good 25 yards out, maybe more, to put Turkey back in front and send this stadium wild.

Kvaratskhelia stretches to meet a cross but can't get proper contact on it, and the ball is diverted well wide.

Turkey get forward again, but they're being denied much space when they reach the edge of the Georgian box. This time the ball is worked back to Calhanoglu, whose shot takes a deflection on its way wide, and the resulting corner is grabbed.
