The world of sports is full of worn-out phrases that are so true that they don’t even mean anything. The ball is round. Everyone plays football nowadays. A match lasts for 90 minutes. It’s just that the latter one is not so true anymore—not because the game lasts shorter but longer instead. That’s why we have had some heartbreaking as well as some ecstatic moments so far at EURO 2024.The best scorer of EURO 2024? So far, Mr Own GoalAfter the game clock struck the 90th minute, as many as nine goals were scored in the tournament. Some of them were not so essential, like, for example, Emre Can’s goal for Germany’s 5-1 victory against Scotland or Breel Embolo’s in Hungary’s net for Switzerland’s 3-1 triumph. However, both the Germans and the Swiss experienced the aforementioned moments and completely opposite feelings when Niclas Füllkrug equalized the score in these two countries’ clash and secured the first spot in Group A to Die Mannschaft, moving Switzerland to the second position.The Euro of late goals 😍😍 pic.twitter.com/4DMPxq4ZwO— FootballFunnys (@FootballFunnnys) June 24, 2024 The Scots also felt the devastating feeling of not only losing the match but also being eliminated from the tournament when they conceded the goal in the 100th minute against Hungary. Nevertheless, in terms of extremely late goals, Croatia suffered the biggest tragedy. Two times have they conceded the equalizers in added time: first, Klaus Gjasula scored for Albania in the 95th, and then the Italian Mattia Zaccagni sent them home (not officially yet, though) in the eighth minute of injury time.Slovenia had the ticket for the next round of EURO until the 95th minute of the Serbia clash when AC Milan’s Luka Jović scored and secured an important point for his national team. Subsequently, Slovenia will have to fight for the eighth-finals against none other than the firm favourite – England. The list of added-time goals ends with Francisco Conceição’s winner for Portugal against the Czech Republic and Kerem Aktürkoğlu’s goal, which sealed Turkey’s 3-1 victory over Georgia.##NAJAVA_MECA_8180844##It gives us a tally of nine added-time goals (out of 67 scored in total) in just 28 matches. Four of them were equalizers, and never before had there been more than two at the European Championships. Gjasula’s goal against Croatia had become the latest equalizer in EURO history, only to be dethroned just five days later by Zaccagni’s goal against the same opponent.And since we started with worn-out phrases, we might as well end with another one: It’s not over until the fat lady sings, or in this, football, case until the referee blows the final whistle.Goals in added time at EURO 2024 so far:Emre Can (GER) 90+3Germany – Scotland 5-1Breel Embolo (SWI) 90+3Hungary – Switzerland 1-3Niclas Füllkrug (GER) 90+2Switzerland – Germany 1-1Kevin Csoboth (HUN) 90+10Scotland – Hungary 0-1Klaus Gjasula (ALB) 90+5Croatia – Albania 2-2Mattia Zaccagni (ITA) 90+8Croatia – Italy 1-1Luka Jović (SRB) 90+5Slovenia – Serbia 1-1Kerem Aktürkoğlu (TUR) 90+7Turkey – Georgia 3-1Francisco Conceição (POR) 90+2Portugal – Czech Republic 2-1
