The Swiss had taken the lead during a torrential downpour when a low cross slowed on the drenched pitch and allowed Hakan Yakin to tap in.

Yakin missed a glorious chance from the same spot minutes later and was punished when Semih Senturk headed in.

Arda Turan then broke Swiss hearts when he cut inside and scored with a shot which took a deflection.

In all the corners of Turkey the victory celebrations started and they will maintain the night all.
