Semih Senturk has equalised and you’ve got to ask questions of the keeper there. Like, ‘How on earth didn’t you save that?’ Nihat curls over a cross from the left and Semih rises high to nod goalwards, Diego Benaglio doing nothing more than parrying the ball into the net. Terrible.

Captain Nihat comes within a whisker of giving Turkey the lead after failing to get on the end of a cross.

What a chance for the hosts. They break quickly and the ball falls for Johan Vonlanthen who forces a great save from Volkan, before the keeper does extremely well to block Hakan Yakin’s rebound effort.

The Swiss are out of Euro 2008. Arda Turan gets sent away down the right and he cuts in and shoots from 20 yards, it takes a heavy deflection off Valon Behrami and loops over the keeper and into the net. Absolute heartbreak for the Swiss and manager Kobi Khun.
