(VIDEO) Impossible to Understand… The Most Viral Own Goal of EURO 2024
The own goal has been the main character in EURO 2024, arguably the top scorer of the competition with over five own goals just in the group stage of the continental tournament.
However, the one that has caught everyone's attention is Samet Akaydin's own goal in the match between Turkey and Portugal. In a harmless situation, with a bad exit from the Turkish goalkeeper, Bayindir, and a back pass from Akaydin, the ball ended up in their own net, marking undoubtedly one of the worst blunders of the year.
This mishap helped their rival, Portugal, increase their lead and made life difficult for Turkey in a crucial match for the Group F standings of EURO 2024.
