Arda Turan struck an injury-time winner as Turkey beat Switzerland 2-1 in Basel to send the Euro 2008 co-hosts crashing out after five days.

Hakan Yakin had put the Swiss ahead in the first half at a soggy St Jakob-Park Stadium but Semih Senturk equalised ten minutes into the second half before the turnaround was completed by Turan at the death.

The two sides lost their opening Group A games so both knew they needed a victory to realistically keep their quarter-final hopes alive.

It was Switzerland who looked the more dangerous from the outset and they had a number of opportunities to take the lead, but both Yakin and Tranquilo Barnetta were denied by superb saves from the outstanding Volkan Demirel.

Yakin did put the co-hosts ahead in the 30th minute, though, when Eren Derdiyok got on the end of a long ball, rounded the goalkeeper and squared perfectly across goal, with the ball stopping in the rain for Yakin to simply tap in from two yards.

Yakin should have put Switzerland 2-0 ahead four minutes later when presented with another open goal by Valon Behrami's cross, but the playmaker somehow fired wide from five yards.

The rain continued to lash down as the end of the first half neared, and there was real danger of the game being called off during the interval. However the downpour stopped and the second half kicked off as planned with the conditions significantly improved.

Turkey were also greatly improved and had the ball in the net six minutes in although Senturk was rightly ruled to be offside. However, the substitute was not to be denied and he headed home Nihat Kahveci's cross to earn his side a 55th-minute equaliser.

Yakin was denied by a desperate lunge in the opposite box a few minutes later as Switzerland looked to hit immediately back, but it was the Turks who almost took the lead when Nihat just failed to get on the end of Tuncay Sanli's cross across goal on 73.

Yakin should have won it for Switzerland ten minutes later but he fired straight at Demirel's chest from the edge of the box and was immediately withdrawn for Colin Kazim-Richards.

And Yakin's miss proved to be crucial as a minute into stoppage time Turan's 20-yard shot was deflected over Diego Benaglio to send the co-hosts crashing out after just five days
