Jordan James has ball in the net before half-time but Mark Harris is just offside in the build-up, then Harry Wilson hits post

He's been superb tonight for Wales.

Helen Ward
Former Wales striker on BBC Radio WalesMert Gunok should have had to make more saves, Wales have had a couple of opportunities that should have ended with a shot on target.
He hasn't had enough to do.

MISSED PENALTY - Kerem Akturkoglupublished at 88 mins
Turkey 0-0 Wales
Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!
Kerem Akturkoglu hits the outside of the post after sending Karl Darlow the wrong way.
The penalty decision seemed very harsh and Wales will feel justice has been served.
PENALTYpublished at 86 mins
Turkey 0-0 Wales
Penalty to Turkey.
It's been given I think for a foul on Enes Unal by Neco Williams.
But Williams seemed to win the ball.

Wales are not playing tentatively.
They are playing like a side who think, 'it's still 0-0, we could nick this now'.

Mark Poyser
BBC Radio Wales football commentatorWales’ travelling supporters have been drowned out by the incessant noise from their Turkish hosts all evening but have found their voices after a couple of chances on the break.
High up in the corner, many Welsh fans have their shirts off and are twirling them above their heads.

Turkey 0-0 Wales
Yunus Akgun just shot from miles out and fired over.
That was the football equivalent of gripping a driver too tightly and trying to hit a drive too hard and you take your second shot from just past the red tee.
CLOSE!published at 78 mins
Turkey 0-0 Wales
Arda Guler throws himself to the ground in frustration after working space for himself in the area and then firing over the crossbar.
The Real Madrid teen has had four shots tonight, but that was the moment for him, he worked the angle beautifully.

Dafydd Pritchard
BBC Sport Wales at Kadir Has Stadium, Kayseri, TurkeyCraig Bellamy said he would be going all out for victory tonight and he looks to be good to his word by bringing on David Brooks for Jordan James and Liam Cullen for Sorba Thomas.
It looks like Harry Wilson has dropped deeper in midfield. Bellamy mentioned his versatility after the Montenegro win last month, saying they could use Wilson as a "double six".

Turkey 0-0 Wales
Lovely Wales break and Brennan Johnson pings across a beautiful first-time cross, but David Brooks can't take the ball under control and the moment is lost.
That's Johnson all over, even when he has a quiet game he has it in his locker to just produce a moment of real quality.

A positive switch.

Wales don't have an outlet. They are going to make a change or two in attack.

Match Facts
The last two meetings between Türkiye and Wales have ended level (0-0 last month, 1-1 in November 2013) after only one of the first eight games between the pair ended in a stalemate (4 Wales wins, 3 Türkiye wins).
Wales have lost three of their four previous away games against Türkiye (W1) with one of those seeing 10 goals scored: Türkiye 6-4 Wales in August 1997 in a World Cup qualifier.
Türkiye have won each of their last three games, last winning four in a row in June 2022 when all four games also came in the UEFA Nations League.
Wales are unbeaten in each of their last 10 competitive fixtures (W5 D5) and could level their all-time best such run without defeat, set in November 2020 under Ryan Giggs (P9 W6 D3)/Rob Page (P2 W2).
Türkiye have won six of their last seven home games in all competitions, as many victories as across their previous 16 matches on home turf (D8 L2).
Craig Bellamy is already the first Wales manager to go unbeaten in his first four games and could now also become the first to go unbeaten in their first three away matches in charge of the Dragons (W1 D1 currently).
Kerem Aktürkoğlu has scored four goals in his last three Türkiye appearances, more than across his previous 27 international outings (3 goals) – no player scored more goals across Matchday 1-4 of this season’s UEFA Nations League than the forward (4).
Harry Wilson has scored in each of his last three international appearances and could become the first Wales player to score in four straight appearances since Ian Rush in February 1983 (5 in a row).
