European quick goals and own goals / Meet the records that broke Euro 2024
Euro 2024 was already closed, on July 14 at Olimpia Stadium the trophy was lifted by Spain who beat England 2-1.

Spain also registered a new record by not suffering any losses even in the group stage.

But unlike what we expected many teams were eliminated and why there was a high expectation for them.

Germany, France, Portugal and Italy were certainly contenders for the trophy at the start of the competition.

The Italians showed that they are not in their best days, after being eliminated by Switzerland in the 1/16 round.

Portugal had a difficult encounter with France, where the fate of 11 meters qualified the latter.

While Germany was eliminated by Spain in a match, considered so far the most beautiful of the championship, but full of controversy.

England on the other hand narrowly defeated Holland in extra time 2-1.

The 3 lions also had a hard time against Slovakia, where Bellingham's goal was needed in the last minute of overtime.

Even against Switzerland, the English did not go further than a 1-1 draw, leading the match to penalties, where Switzerland did not succeed.

However, we can say that England managed to reach the final with the help of luck.

The final departure from the national team of 2 footballers, coincidentally they are Kross and Myler, also created a big commotion. Meanwhile, there is still no confirmation about Ronaldo and Modric.

But many spicy details were certainly not missing in this European, quick goals, penalties, cards and numerous records accompanied the championship.

Czech-Turkey, 21 cards 

Romanian referee Istvan Kovacs was not spared at all, as he issued 13 yellow cards for the Turks.

8 more for the Czechs, who also received 2 red cards. In the 20th minute, Barak leaves the playing field, who received the second yellow, while in the last minute of extra time, Chory also came out with a red. Thus, the record of the European championships for the number of cards in a match was convincingly broken.

The previous record was ten cards in one European Championship game. Interestingly, the record has been broken even when it comes to major competitions, as the world championship record is 16 cards.

Switzerland's Xherdan Shaqiri is the only European player to score in each of the last six major tournaments (EURO and World Cup).

France have not won their last group game in any of their last nine major tournaments, since beating Togo 2-0 at the 2006 World Cup (D5, D4). However, Les Bleus have never lost their opening game in the group stage of the EURO finals (W7 D3). Elsewhere, nine of Mikel Oyarzabal's 12 goals for Spain have come as a substitute after his winner in the final.

Dani Carvajal and Nacho became only the 11th and 12th players to win the UEFA European Championship and the UEFA Champions League in the same summer.

N'Golo Kanté set a record for the most matches played in EURO history without finishing on the losing side (7 wins 6 draws) when France edged Portugal in the quarter-finals (excluding penalties).

Luka Modrić (38) scored against Italy, the Croatia captain broke former Austria striker Ivica Vastic's record to become the oldest ever goalscorer at a EURO, while Spain's Jesús Navas (38 years and 231 days) became the oldest outfield player to appear in a semi-final at a EURO or World Cup.
