Austria v Turkey LIVE: Latest Euro 2024 score and updates as Merih Demiral nets first goal in just 57 seconds

Austria have had double the shots of Turkey (6 compared to 3) but none of them have hit the target. In fact Merih Demiral’s effort is the only one from both teams to be on target.

45+1 mins: The whistle goes to bring an enterprising first half to a close. Austria need to dig into their reserves and find an extra level when they come back out.

Turkey have been very good. Defensive solid and willing to get the ball up the pitch. The early goal has put them in control. Can they keep themselves there?

42 mins: Turkey’s aim is obviously to win this game but they need to keep a lid on things. Ismail Yuksek picks up a yellow card for a foul in the middle of the pitch and as a result will miss the quarter-final against the Netherlands – if they get there.

39 mins: Romano Schmid goes into the book for a foul on Ferdi Kadioglu. Austria are just lacking that spark of creativity that they need here.

Turkey are very comfortable.

36 mins: Twice Austria look to deliver crosses into the box, once from the left and once from the right. Neither finds the intended target as Turkey’s back five are solid and strong.

33 mins: That early goal has given this game an edge and made Austria think about things more. They need to come up with a way to break Turkey down.

Pentz sends a long pass out to the left wing where Sabitzer releases Arnautovic. He combines with Laimer to get alongside the box but when the ball comes in Turkey deal with it.

30 mins: There’s a determined look to Turkey to maintain this lead. Off the ball they’re getting plenty of men back to defend but they then also commit players up the pitch when the opportunity comes and don’t want to get penned in.

This will eventually take its toll but then the substitutes will play a big role in the second half. Very good work from Turkey so far.

Austria do well on the left with Marcel Sabitzer whipping a cross in towards Marko Arnautovic. Abdulkerim Bardakci makes the clearance and Turkey sweep up the pitch.

The ball is sent over to Baris Alper Yilmaz who skips away from a tackle, drives into the box then lifts a cross behind his teammate arriving at the back post.

Good chance squandered for Turkey.

24 mins: Arda Guler swings a corner into the near post for Turkey but Philipp Lienhart is on hand to nod the ball back out for a set piece.

This next attempt finds Merih Demiral, the goalscorer, who shoulders an effort wide of the target.
