Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Turkey and Wales has kicked off!
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Caglar Soyuncu suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' The travelling Wales supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Hakan Calhanoglu, as he is very good at scoring at Baku Olimpiya Stadionu with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joe Rodon made 383 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 40' It looks surprising Turkey does not make any changes. Mert Muldur has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 42' Goal! Aaron Ramsey scores his 26 goal in 414 matches.
- 43' GOAL! Aaron Ramsey scores on 43. Assisted by Gareth Bale
- 46' Another change for Turkey made on 46 minute. Okay Yokuslu leaves to be changed by Merih Demiral.
- 51' Wales is showing some good football. However, Wales are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 56' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Wales that had 152 games and scored 14 goals.
- 61' Connor Roberts needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 30 Yellow cards this season.
- 66' It’s high time Senol Gunes made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 71' It looks like no one’s ball. Wales is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 72' Mert Muldur has so much to prove this time. He replaces Cengiz Umut Meras on 72 minute.
- 73' Another change for Turkey made on 73 minute. Cengiz Umut Meras leaves to be changed by Mert Muldur.
- 75' Another substitution for Turkey to replace Kenan Karaman by Halil Dervisoglu on 75 minute.
- 80' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 83' Irfan Can Kahveci is replacing Cengiz Under for the Turkey side.
- 85' Time for substitution for Wales. Aaron Ramsey is replaced by Harry Wilson.
- 90' Wales receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
- 90' Time for substitution for Wales. Daniel James is replaced by Neco Williams.
- Full Time. Wales beats Turkey
