Euro 2024: Turkey's Samet Akaydin gifts Portugal with own goal during 3-0 defeat

Portugal cruised to a 3-0 victory over Turkey in Group F action at Euro 2024 on Saturday.

Bernardo Silva opened the scoring with his first goal of the tournament in the 21st minute and Portugal doubled the lead seven minutes later after a miscommunication between the Turkey defense.

João Cancelo intercepted a header in midfield and worked a quick give-and-go with Bruno Fernandes to advance the ball into the Turkey end. As he broke upfield with Cristiano Ronaldo looking to make a run, Cancelo misread it and played a pass forward to no one, turning it over with four Türkiye players around the ball.
