GOAL - Turkey 2-0 Wales

What a goal!

Turkey substitute Arda Guler has the ball on the edge of the Welsh penalty area, just to the right.

He has a look and curls a beautiful left-footed shot past a despairing Danny Ward and into the top far corner.

That's it for Wales now.

'Just go for it'

Nathan Blake

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

The last five or 10 minutes, just put the legs on if you've got them, just go for it.

That goal has calmed Turkey. They're playing with a breezy confidence now, in complete control.

Wales are still not out of the game, though.

YELLOW CARD

Turkey's Irfan Can Kahveci gets his side's fourth yellow for connecting with Connor Roberts' face with his arm as they challenge for a header.

'Ward probably can't believe it'

I feel so much for Danny Ward, he probably can't believe it.

Turkey almost make it two in a minute as Orkun Kokcu arrives late in the Welsh box but skews his shot wide.

'This game has got everything'

Helen Ward

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

It's another let-off for Wales. Danny Ward deserves that little bit of luck. It's an awkward one he had to deal with.

This game has got absolutely everything in it.

We just need a Welsh goal to top it off.

So, two disallowed goals and a penalty saved.

Even with 10 men, can Wales make this their lucky night?

DISALLOWED GOAL - Turkey 0-0 Wales

Turkey have had another goal disallowed! Handball!

VAR comes to Wales' rescue again.

Danny Ward saves the initial shot, it bounces up and hits Turkish substitute Umut Nayir before he fires in.

GOAL - Turkey 1-0 Wales

Turkey finally break Wales' resistance!

Wales fans in Samsun are jubilant. You can hear them singing Men of Harlech, prompting boos from the frustrated home supporters.

'What a save'

Nathan Blake

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

What a save from Danny Ward!

Down to his right hand side, you have to say Calhanoglu, he really struck it with some venom.

MISSED PENALTY - Hakan Calhanoglu

The Inter Milan man has his penalty saved by Danny Ward!

A fine stop, low to his right.

Wales live to fight another day!

PENALTY

Penalty to Turkey!

Ferdi Kadioglu's cross from the right hits the arm of Wales captain Aaron Ramsey.

Turkey skipper Hakan Calhanoglu to take...

SUBSTITUTION

Daniel James is off for Wales, replaced by Millwall striker Tom Bradshaw.

Another shot from distance by a Turkish player, this time by Arda Guler, just on as a substitute. It sails over.

'It is about getting that one moment'

Helen Ward

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

The Turkish players seem to be getting frustrated, there are three of them on yellow cards now.

It is good from Wales, it is solid, they are playing the game well, still at times they put themselves in trouble in possession but generally speaking I think Rob Page would be happy.

It is just about getting that one moment again on the counter-attack.

Turkey are enjoying a sustained period of possession in the Wales half, but the visitors are defending their box well at the moment, with Ben Cabango heading clear a few times.
