Nathan Blake
Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales
Rob Page has got a smirk on his face, as I do.
That's just an arm? You can't go down like that.
GOAL Wales 1-1 Turkey`
Yusuf Yazici
Calm penalty, a dummy and Danny Ward goes the wrong way.
PENALTY
Wales 1-0 Turkey
Penalty to Turkey.
Ben Davies is adjudged to have fouled Kenan Yildiz.
It's very soft indeed.
Post update
Wales 1-0 Turkey
Danny Ward gets in a spot of bother as he comes for a cross he's never getting, but his defenders get him out of trouble.
Wales having to defend deeper.

Iwan Roberts
Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Cymru
It's five at the back now and they're almost defending the edge of the box.
It means the two in midfield, naturally, drop deeper.
Post update
Wales 1-0 Turkey
Wales dealing well with Turkish spells of pressure.
So good tonight.
So good at home to Croatia.
This campaign really could have been a special one for Wales.
It's against Armenia that they have potentially cost themselves an automatic qualification spot.

Nathan Blake

Brennan Johnson must be thinking 'what do I have to do just to get a shot on target?'
Post update
Wales 1-0 Turkey
Helen Ward
Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales
Really good play from Harry Wilson. Direct.
A good opportunity.
SUBSTITUTION
Wales 1-0 Turkey
David Brooks is on for Nathan Broadhead and with his first contribution, he blocks a Brennan Johnson shot.
A little bit over keen there.

Iwan Roberts
Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Cymru
It's not often you see Ethan Ampadu in the six-yard box.
It's lifted brilliantly by Harry Wilson.
He doesn't quite get the power he needs.
CLOSE!
Wales 1-0 Turkey
Harry Wilson is terrifying Turkey.
He shows his twinkle toes to skip to the byline and Ethan Ampadu meets his cross, but his header lacks power and Altay Bayindir is able to save.
Good game this.
SUBSTITUTION
Wales 1-0 Turkey
Baris Alper Yilmaz, who has struggled to get into the game, is replaced by Kenan Yildiz.
CLOSE!
Wales 1-0 Turkey
Turkey win a corner as they push forward.
From the corner it's a massive chance as Samet Akaydin wins a header by getting in front of Joe Rodon and Danny Ward parries the ball clear.
Post update
Wales 1-0 Turkey
Think I'd agree with Nathan Blake, not a penalty for me.
The foul on Brennan Johnson in the first half, however... that was absolutely nailed-on, a clear as day penalty.

Iwan Roberts
Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Cymru
It's the smallest contact, but it's still contact.

Nathan Blake
Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales
It's not enough for me. I think he (Yusuf Yazici) almost does step on him (Harry Wilson), but he pulls out at the very last second.
YELLOW CARD
Wales 1-0 Turkey
Wales appeal for another penalty as this time Harry Wilson goes down.
Yusuf Yazici was the player who made the challenge and he's booked, but not for fouling Harry Wilson.
A weird decision.

Nathan Blake
Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales
Again, it comes from Wales hunting, putting pressure on and trying to get the ball back.
It results in a great shot by Brennan Johnson.

Croatia have just had a goal disallowed.
They're toying with us all.
Post update
Wales 1-0 Turkey
Danny Ward watches a shot sail over his crossbar.
That was basically from so far out it might as well have been Penarth.
