Turkey beat Croatia 3-1 in a dramatic penalty shootout in Vienna on Friday to play against Germany in the Euro 2008 semifinals.
Croatia, who largely dominated Friday’s match, looked to have won in the final minute of extra-time as substitute Ivan Klasnic headed home from Luka Modric’s cross in the 119th minute.
But Turkey responded with a sensational last gasp equalizer from Semih Senturk which stunned the Croatians ahead of the shootout.
Modric and Ivan Rakitic missed two out of the first three penalties for Croatia to give Turkey a 3-1 advantage, confirmed as Recber Rustu saved from Mladen Petric to spark wild celebrations.
Victory came at a cost as Tuncay Sanli, Arda Turan and Emre Asik will be banned for the semi-final after picking up yellow cards. Nihat Kahveci also appeared to pick up a groin strain.
Holland, which won three group stage matches against Italy, France and Romania, will play against Russia on June 21.
