You're welcome
They needed to win and also Kazakhstan away needed to defeat Latvia, which is a miracle in itself considering Kazakhstan never managed to win in their last 15 away games.
Drawing or just winning would have meant play-offs.

Nah they were last in the Euros in 2008.
Arda and Turkey faced Rakitic and Croatia in a pretty good battle.

Turkey during Euro 2008 was epic. First they were behind Czech Republic 0-2 with only 15 minutes left to play, but they managed to turn it around and qualified to the knockoutstage.
Then they played Croatia and neither team scored until the 118th minute when Croatia scored and everybody was sure it was over. With one minute added injury time Turkey managed to score on exactly the 121 minute mark and won over penalties. I think they pulled off a third miracle match against Switzerland I think.
Here this shows the time
Take note of the commentary when Croatia scored. "The kings of the late-late winner have been beaten by a late-late winner."
And then ironically they manage to pull of the biggest latest win again lol.
One of the most epic turnabouts.[youtube][/youtube]
Edit: I looked it up. They beat Switzerland by scoring in the 92th minute making it 1-2 the during group stage.
All matches they had to win otherwise they wouldn't have had enough points to move to knock-out.
Those were magic times.

I love how both Modric and Rakitic missed their penalties 
Especially since Rakitic is so good at FKs.
