Pure emotion! After Mert Müldür's dream goal in Turkey's 3:1 win against Georgia, tears flowed from the ex-Rapidler's girlfriend and mother - touching scenes at the EURO in Germany.

The Georgian defense withstood the pressure until the 25th minute, when Mert Müldür came on: The full-back, who grew up in Vienna and trained at Rapid, took the ball straight at the sixteen and volleyed it into the corner of the net. A dream goal!

There was no stopping Müldür's mother and his girlfriend, Andjela Koprena from Vienna, in the stands of the Dortmund stadium. The two celebrated the 25-year-old's super goal with tears of joy on their cheeks - see the video here:

"We fought hard, now we're happy," Müldür cheered after the game.

Turkey go into Saturday's Group F clash against Portugal with three points, while Georgia face the Czech Republic.
