Croatia 1 Turkey 1 Highlights

Turkey beat Croatia 3-1 on penalties after a dramatic last few minutes of extra time to set up a semi final clash against Germany.

Croatia had the better chances in what was a very close match, with Ivica Olic blasting against the crossbar from a few yards out but Turkey went close in extra time when Tuncay Sanli saw an effort creep inches wide. Ivan Klasnic thought he had won it with a header in the final minute of extra time but Semih Senturk lashed in an equaliser a minute into added time to set up a penalty shoot out.

Turkey goalkeeper Rustu Recber was caught out of position and Werder Bremen striker Klasnic headed in a cross from Luka Modric from close range.

A long ball from Recber fell to Fenerbahce striker Senturk who smashed the ball in from just inside the box to take the match to penalties.
