93%

Mert Gunok's save for Turkey at 90'+4 of added time had an 'expected goals on target' value of 0.93 (the shot had about a 93% chance of going in).

That makes it the most unlikely save, according to xGOT, in added time at a World Cup, Euro or Copa America since 2018.

57 seconds

Turkey's Merih Demiral scored in 57 seconds against Austria, making it the earliest goal in Euro round of 16 history.

17

In the round of 16, 17 under-22 players contributed to the goal of this European Championship, one goal less than the 2004 edition, which is the record for the most goals scored by under-22 players in a European Championship since 1980.

The 2004 tournament featured the following notable U-22s: Wayne Rooney (5 G+A), Cristiano Ronaldo (4 G+A) and Arjen Robben (3 G+A).
