( dpa ) - Two goals in the last three minutes from Nihat Kahveci helped Turkey come from two goals down to beat the Czech Republic 3- 2 in their final Group A match in Geneva Sunday and set up a quarter-final clash against Croatia.
The Czechs went in front on 34 minutes through a powerful header from veteran striker Jan Koller and looked to be cruising into the last eight when Jaroslav Plasil made it 2-0 on 62 minutes.
However, Arda Turan made it 2-1 with a shot from just inside the area with 15 minutes remaining to set up a tense finish.
Incredibly with just three minutes remaining, Petr Cech dropped a Hamit Altintop cross, which Nihat poked home and the Turkey captain then sealed a remarkable win two minutes later with a superb effort from the edge of the area. There was even time for Turkey goalkeeper Volkan Demirel to see a red card in stoppage time.
