Despite being weakend by numerous injuries to key players, the Turks have come out fighting in the first semi-final of the Euro 2008 championships, cause plenty of problems for the German defence. Colin Kazim-Kazim hit the cross bar in the 12th minute, and did again in the 22nd minute to set up the Ugur Boral's goal.
