Analysis
Great figure Bale, who gave two assists and despite missing the penalty, his performance was very good.
Wales reached 4 points, played much better and will have to improve their definition if they do not want to suffer the match as they did today.
On the other hand, Turkey is left with almost remote possibilities of qualifying to the next round, as they will have to win by several goals and wait for results.
Match ended
Victory for the visitors, who took 3 golden points and reached 4 units in their group.

Analysis
Wales was a fair winner in this first half, because they did more for the match and although Turkey also had their chances, it is clear that the visitor was the dominating team and that is what helped them to go up in the scoreboard.
