Turkey beat Luxembourg 6-5 and still has a tiny chance to win the championship, but it won't be possible without Greece beating South Africa in the last round. And that chance is close to 0%.

Turkey had a solid 5-2 lead but two goals in the 55th minute by Luxembourg made the final minutes interesting. Savas Aktrk scored his second goal of the game at 56:03 to restore a 2-goal lead. Benny Welter's 5-6 goal came to late - at 59:47.

The Championship will end tomorrow with the games Israel-Turkey and South Africa-Greece.
