Czech Republic 1-3 Portugal
Hot and humid with storms.
One of the best, most balanced games so far, but Portugal tipped the balance by taking their chances.
Switzerland 1-2 Turkey
Torrential downp… hey, wait! The idea here was to use weather summaries as a humorous way of describing the matches, but in this case, a real torrential downpour defined the match. What was looking like being the dullest game so far was transformed by a waterlogged pitch, with Switzerland adjusting better to the conditions. Football can be cruel, though, and Turkey’s more effective attacking proved crucial.
