Turkey beat Euro 2024 debutants Georgia 3-1 on Tuesday in a tightly-contested encounter lit up by two breathtaking Turkish strikes either side of half-time.

Mert Muldur gave Turkey a first-half lead with a thunderous volley from the edge of the box. Georges Mikautadze quickly equalised. In the second half, 19-year-old Turkey star Arda Guler whipped in a curling effort and Kerem Akturkoglu added a late third on the counter after Georgia had hit the woodwork.
