Turan and Co. were unable to break down their opposition’s defense, with the first half ending in deadlock. It was not until the 62nd minute that Turkey’s Selcuk Inan gave his team the lead, finding the back of the net courtesy of a spot kick.

18 minutes later and Hakan Calhanoglu doubled the away side’s lead, courtesy of an Arda Turan assist, as Turkey came out of the Prague tie with all three points.

With only one round of fixtures remaining, Turkey need only a point to grab the precious playoff spot, with 15 points in group A, though Danny Blind’s men are breathing down their neck with 13 points.
