In another match in the Euro 2027 qualifying group that same day, Croatia defeated Turkey at home, with three (!) players sent off, 3:0 (the match was interrupted in the 34th minute with the score 0:0 because the visiting team's head coach Egemen Korkmaz fainted and was urgently sent to the hospital by ambulance).
