Turkey In Control
Mert Müldür broke the deadlock with a brilliant volley in the 24th minute before Georges Mikautadze scored Georgia's first-ever goal in a European Championship to equalize in the 44th minute.
However, Turkey regained the lead just before halftime when Arda Guler scored a stunning long-range strike.
Yunus Akgun sealed the win for Turkey in the 81st minute.
Guler Makes History
