"We had to win and we played a good game. Of course there were one or two chances that we missed and maybe we could have scored one or two more goals, but it was a crucial performance from us and we're happy with the result."

Switzerland missed out on second place in Group A on goal difference to Wales, who lost 1-0 to Italy.

Liverpool forward Shaqiri put the Swiss 2-0 up at half-time in Baku with a superb curling effort after Haris Seferovic had given them an early lead.

Irfan Can Kahveci's long-range strike got Turkey back into it, but Shaqiri pounced again, firing home first time at the end of a sweeping counter-attack.

Shaqiri added: "The first (goal was particularly good), with my weaker right foot. Of course I was very happy with them both. I was happy with the performance and very happy that I was able to help the team."

Turkey exit the tournament without a point following 3-0 and 2-0 defeats to Italy and Wales respectively in their previous matches and head coach Senol Gunes gave an honest assessment of his young side.

Gunes told Euro2020.com: "We are aware that we were not good enough. The first match had such a negative effect on my players. That can happen.

"But those players will play for Turkey for many years and they will succeed like before."

Turkey forward Burak Yilmaz told Euro2020: "We could not handle playing in such a big tournament, I have to admit.

"We've qualified for the Euros, we are going really well in World Cup qualification but I can see that we need to learn how to play these tournaments. That's a lesson we have to learn."
