Mert Gunok is compared with Gordon Banks after making one of the Euros' 'greatest saves' to send Turkey into the Euro 2024 quarter-finals.
The moment Gordon Banks denied Pele at the 1970 World Cup is known as the 'save of the century' - but have we just seen another stop to match it?
Turkey were hanging on to a 2-1 lead in the face of relentless late pressure when, in the 94th minute, Austria mounted one last attack. Turkey defender Merih Demiral, who scored twice - including the quickest knockout-stage goal in European Championship history - was named man of the match but paid tribute to Gunok afterwards.
Turkey boss Vincenzo Montella was one of the few people not to use superlatives when talking about Gunok’s stop, but he did not downplay its importance for his country's cause.
