    Helen Ward
    Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

    Wales have had the let-off but since then they have been resolute and a bit more difficult to break down.

    We don't need to to go out and force it and try and be too creative at every point.

    It has been OK so far.

    Turkey 0-0 Wales

    Wales using an old adage favoured by parks football teams over the ages and 'working the line' with a series of throw-ins, inching their way further into the Turkish half.

    It's stemmed the flow of Turkish pressure at least. For now.

    Wales just need to make sure they don't give anything easy or sloppy away to Turkey to encourage this crowd, they are loud enough as it is.

    Turkey 0-0 Wales

    A better spell for Wales as their defenders string together a few passes.

    Chris Mepham then finds Brennan Johnson with a decent forward ball, but the attack soon breaks down.

    Manager Robert Page will be slightly encouraged by that at least.

    Former Wales captain on BBC Cymru Fyw

    Wales have had a lucky escape there. Neco Williams has to make sure he’s in the right position.

    I’m a bit of a nervous wreck here, but I’m glad that it’s still goalless.

    Turkey 0-0 Wales

    It's not much of a respite for Wales, with Turkey back in the visitors' half once again.

    Wales can barely get a sniff of possession at the moment.

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 17 mins

    Turkey 0-0 Wales

    Zeki Celik has been a threat going forward but the Turkey right-back has been booked for bringing down Wales winger Daniel James.

    Chance for Wales to swing in a cross from a good position on the left.

    James takes the free-kick but wastefully floats it past the back post.

  8. 'They've got away with that one'published at 20:01 British Summer Time 19 June 2023

    Turkey 0-0 Wales

    Nathan Blake
    Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

    That disallowed goal is a let-off, Wales have to be careful they don't allow those splitting passes.

    It is a great ball inside Williams to take out James and Williams, Mepham is going back towards his own goal, really difficult ball to deal with.

    They've got away with one there Wales.

    Turkey 0-0 Wales

    Wales are under pressure again, with Cengiz Under's cross cleared out for a corner.

    Danny Ward catches the corner but then just gives possession away.

    Wales need to get a grip of things here.

  10. How things stand in Group Dpublished at 19:59 British Summer Time 19 June 2023

    Turkey 0-0 Wales

    That disallowed goal means that this is still the state of play in Group D after Armenia beat Latvia 2-1 earlier this evening.

    Turkey beat Armenia in March so have the superior head-to-head record.

  11. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 12 mins

    Turkey 0-0 Wales

    Referee Fabio Maresca is being asked to look at the screen.

    This is unusual for an offside VAR check.

    The goal is disallowed!

    Relief for Wales as Chris Mepham's goal is chalked off.

    GOAL - Turkey 1-0 Walespublished at 9 mins

    Chris Mepham (own goal)

    A terrible start for Wales!

    Their defence have been under pressure so far and they've caved in under Turkish pressure.

    Right-back Zeki Celik plays in a low cross and Wales centre-back Chris Mepham, sliding in, puts it into his own net.

    It's being checked for offside by VAR.

    Turkey 0-0 Wales

    Yilmaz is denied again by the scrambling Welsh defence, with Chris Mepham sliding in this time.

    Wales are looking a little shaky again.

    Wales have pace in abundance, we need to try and take advantage of that.

    Turkey 0-0 Wales

    Brennan Johnson latches on to a lofted pass from Ethan Ampadu and, with no support, the Wales forward tries his luck with a shot from a tight angle into the side netting.

    Johnson then looks like he's in a bit of pain but is fine to continue for now.

    Mepham and Rodon are going to have to step it up and perform a lot better than what we saw on Friday night.

    Almost an early chance for Turkey as Neco Williams loses possession, but Joe Rodon slides in to deny Baris Alper Yilmaz.

    What's gone on here then?

    Joe Morrell went to ground after an off-the-ball incident with Turkey midfielder Orkan Kokcu.

    Replays show there wasn't much in it, the referee has a word and it's play on.

    Turkey 0-0 Wales

    It's Brennan Johnson who seems to be leading the attack in Kieffer Moore's absence.

    Aaron Ramsey is in the number 10 role just behind him with Harry Wilson and Daniel James on each flank.

    Wilson gets an early shot away but it's blocked and Turkey clear.
