It was always going to be a tough task for any team going up against Germany. Jack Fitzpatrick’s side scored 29 goals in three games in the group stage, cementing their status as favorites to go all the way.
Marco Reus got Germany off the mark on 14 minutes with the assist going to new Chelsea signing Timo Werner. Turkey were on the backfoot a quarter of the way through the game. Reus almost doubled his goal tally but cracked the ball of the crossbar before Turkey had their best chance of the game hitting the post themselves with Ayhan ruing the missed opportunity.
The game was strolling on to half time before Reus finally did add to his goal scoring tally with a well placed effort after Goretzka did brilliant well to create the space. It was two nil going down the tunnels, and as expected Turkeys back was up against the wall.
Second half started much like the first with Gnarby combing well with Werner to pretty much book their place in the quarters. Werner himself got on the score sheet with an outstanding effort that bounced off the post and into the net. Turkey rallied at the end up it was way too late. Germany were through to the next round at a canter.
