Goals and highlights: Turkey 0-2 Wales at UEFA Euro 2021

We thank you for your company, we bid farewell to Andrés Mesa who was your host today and we invite you to follow us in the next opportunity.

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. 

Victory for the visitors, who took 3 golden points and reached 4 units in their group.

Great offensive play by Wales, from the feet of Bale, who set up Roberts and he only had to push it in to score Wales' second goal and settle the match.

Goooooooooooooool

Goooooooooooooooooooool Wales

Goaloooooooooooooooooooooooo

The match is not over yet, the game is still being played on Turkey's field.

Calhanoglu is also yellow carded.

The match heats up and Yilmaz and Davies have a physical dispute and all the players start pushing and shoving. 

There was yellow for both players who started the dispute, plus Mephan also gets a yellow card. 

The Wales counterattack was coming, they were 4 against 3, Wilson ended up crossing to the far post for James, but the ball went very high and they lost all the opportunity to increase the score.

The game is slowly coming to an end and Turkey is losing any chance of qualifying for the next round.

Ramsey, who is giving the victory to the Welsh team, retires from the match, Wilson enters.

The ball in the middle of the pitch, there is a lot of fighting and there is no dominator in possession in this second half of the match, which has already entered its final stretch.

The difference is still only one goal, something that leaves the game open and with the possibility that anything can happen.

Wales at times holds the game and at other times almost kills it.

Ramsey and a personal move, to get to the edge of the box, put in the cross and from behind comes Bale, who headed into the ground, but the goalkeeper saved and kept the ball.

The intensity of the match drops, the game is played a little far from the goal and time is running out for the Turkish team.

The player must leave the field in order to be attended to, since the bleeding does not stop.

Moore is hit in the face and the player is bleeding considerably from the nose, the medical team must enter to treat the player.

It's going to be a very open game, where anyone can score and the offensive plays are non-stop.

The Turkish men are starting to feel desperate and are trying to equalize, play fast and increase the intensity of the game.

Wales responds, playing very close to the opponent's area.

The match is back and forth.

Turkey, which is trying to tie the match and not be eliminated, equalizes the forces a little.

New air for Turkey, which will have the closest chance to equalize.

I booted it!

Bale still can't score for his national team and Wales miss the chance to go further up on the scoreboard. 

Bale entered the box, Celik put his foot in and the Welsh player fell, therefore the Portuguese referee blew the penalty and there is a great option for Wales to increase the score.

Yilmaz came on the counter after a Welsh corner, but he found himself all alone and shot wide.

Turkey's attacking wave, which makes the Welsh team retreat and suffers a little with the balls from the flanks into the box.

Yilmaz missed the ball in front of goal, after collecting a rebound in the box following a corner kick.

The game is played in the home field, but far from the goal.

With the changes made, the Turkish team gradually took control of the midfield and began to dominate the ball.

Halftime changes

Turkey

Out: Tufan and Yokuslu

In: Demiral and Yazici

Wales quickly recovered and played in midfield with the ball under control.

The home team moved and the second half is already underway.

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.

Turkey will have to row against the current in this second half, in order not to say goodbye to the Cup one day before the end of the tournament.

With a goal at the end, Wales leaves as winners in this first half.

One more minute will be played in this first half.

Not a goal, but a GOAL.

Great pass from Bale to Ramsey, who entered the box, chested the ball down, finished off spectacularly with his right foot and finally opened the scoring in Baku.

Goooooooooooool

Goooooooooooooooooooool Wales

Goalooooooooooooooooooooo

A hydration break is taken due to the high temperatures in Baku.

We are entering the final stretch of the first half and we are still waiting for the goals, which have been very close, but so far still without opening the scoreboard.

The intensity dropped a little and the game was played a lot in the middle of the field, with no clear dominator.

It is incredible that the match is still tied, with dangerous arrivals in both goals, good collective and individual plays, but something very important is missing and that is to have good definition.

Wales breathes a little, has the ball in their own field and circulates the ball horizontally.

The ball was headed into the Welsh box, the ball was going in and Morell cleared it off the line to save his team, which is suffering in this Turkish attacking surge.

Turkey's counter-attack was coming from Under, but Wales knew how to go back and they ended up winning the ball back.

Possession of 45% for Turkey and 55% for Wales which plays better.

What Ramsey missed is unbelievable.

Bale filtered the perfect ball, Ramsey was left alone in front of the goalkeeper, he defined and the ball went over the goalkeeper and the goal. 

James overflowed, went all the way down the left flank, looked for the cross back and when Bale arrived, the defense anticipated and they missed the goal.

The Turkish team takes a breather and plays with long possession in the midfield.

Wales is getting closer to the goal, their offensive production is very high and they only need to have better definition.

It was missed by Wales, who had the ball on the line and failed to push it in to score the first, great game by Bale and Ramsey so far.

Turkey realized that they had to play direct soccer and with two passes and a shot from half distance, they almost beat the Welsh goalkeeper.

Again came Wales, now it was with Moore, who headed to the far post, after a cross from the left and the ball went just over the goal.

More dangerous play in Turkey's half as Wales gain more depth and get the ball close to Cakir's goal.

Long possession by Turkey, who try to play from the back and build up play slowly.

Great play by Bale, who left Ramsey in the area, he got to the edge of the small area, defined, but the ball went wide by very little.

Both teams came out intensely looking for the game and in that intensity, they failed to have order and lost the ball easily.

First action in the area, where Wales had a free kick from the right flank, which sent the ball through the air to the rival's fields and failed to define the play in a positive way.

First actions of the match, both teams try to get the ball, but there is no clear dominator, for now both lend each other the ball at times.

Wales moved and date 2 is already being played in group A

The captains' draw has been made, everything is ready and only the referee's order is needed to start today's match.
