With 18 cards shown (16 yellow, two red), last night’s clash between Czechia and Turkey was, by a distance, the dirtiest game in Euros history. Thanks to its lawlessness, it now occupies a special place in the record books. Here’s how it happened: https://t.co/POeWXSLSbM

Turkey 2-1 Czech Republic. One of best atmospheres I've ever witnessed. Definitely one of craziest finishes. Not sure how many cards the referee handed out but it's at least 15 yellows, 2 reds. It's a record, obviously. He was so busy showing cards, no one realised match was over
It was a game littered with yellow and red cards 🤯 Should Antonin Barak have been sent off after a second yellow for this? 🤔 #BBCEuros #Euro2024 #CZETUR https://t.co/HVxnCQipaE
