About the video: During Euro 2008, Demirel received a red card in the 92nd (90+1 with 3 more minutes of stoppage) minute for pushing Jan Koller over in the final match of the Euro 2008 Group A game versus the Czech Republic. Since Turkey had already made all of the substitutions it could, Tuncay Şanlı had to replace Demirel in goal. However, Turkey went on to win 3–2 and qualified for the quarter-final.
