Czech Republic and Turkey to be put on the spot if group decider is drawn

Penalties will decide whether the Czech Republic or Turkey go through to the quarter-finals if their clash in Geneva on Sunday ends in a draw.


UEFA have stated that spot kicks will be taken after 90 minutes if they are level on points, goal difference and goals scored — meaning Sunday’s match could be the first time a shootout has featured at the group stage of a major tournament.

An injury-time winner from Ardan Turan against Switzerland in Basle put Turkey level with the Czechs. After that game, police in Berne fired rubber pellets to deal with one violent group of supporters. Three people were hurt and 25 taken into custody.
