The match:
With her Netherlands to pick up speed early on the match started in Berlin. The first chance of the match belonged to the “Oranie”. THE Depayplayed 1-2 with Hakpo who with a heel found the former Atletico player who made, however, a poor shot sending the ball out.
THE Turkey he tried mainly from the axis and with deep balls to reach the area and the Netherlands regained possession. In the 7′ Depay again in the area played Bartaksi with his back, but his shot was blocked and the phase ended with Hakpo offside.
The first good moment for Turkey came in 11′. Candioglou left quickly from the left, took his steps on the pitch, passed to the axis where the Oscanarmed himself and fired the shot over the bar.
The minutes ticked by with Turkey’s performance rising and Modela’s team getting closer and closer to his area Ferbruggen . So in the 35th minute, after a corner kick, the ball reached the Guler who made the cross at the second post and o Acaidin opened the scoring with a header.
Holland’s philosophy did not change with Koeman’s players unable to move the ball and Turkey going to the dressing room with their 1-0.
Determined to change the image of his team by throwing Weghorst into the match instead of the… non-existent in the match, BergweinKoeman made his first change.
This change almost benefited the Netherlands after they missed a great chance in the 51st minute. Ake’s cross found the tall forward who headed a pass towards Depay, but he couldn’t get into the path of the ball, which went just wide.
But again, Turkey took measures on the field and in the 54th minute won a foul in a good spot with Ake “turning yellow”. Guler took over the execution, but the ball didn’t do him any favors, ending up on the post!
Seconds later, Depay didn’t worry Gounock as much as he should have, as his long-range shot ended up in the arms of Verbruggen.
Three minutes later, Turkey almost made it 2-0. From a needless Van Dijk free-kick by Calhanoglu, the ball was not cleared properly to Yildiz, who shot one-on-one, but Verbruggen made a difficult save and the ball went out for a corner.
The next period of the match, however, turned into… a nightmare for the Turks! And that’s because in the 70th minute, after a nice cross from Depay, De Fray found himself unguarded in the heart of the area and beat Guenock with a header to make it 1-1!
As if that wasn’t enough, the “Oranie” turned the game around after six minutes, when they developed from the right with Dumfries making a cross and finding Hakpo who was not anointed a scorer as Mildir was the one in his attempt to cut off the Liverpool winger, he sent the ball into his team’s net for 2-1!
From that point on, Turkey took the reins of the match in search of an equalizing goal.
In the 85th minute, a great double chance was missed, when initially Candioglu made the turn from the left, the ball went past everyone and reached Celik who crossed in front of an empty net, with Van de Ven clearing away, while in the development of the phase, after Aktiurkoglou found himself unguarded and crossed, but Van Dijk got his foot in and blocked the ball!
With the whole Turkish team in front, the Netherlands found space and in the 89th minute they almost made it 3-1, Hakpo from a favorable position, but Gounok kicked the ball away.
Seconds before the end came the intervention of the match by Ferbruggen. After a cross into the Dutch defence, the ball found its way to Kiliktsoi who made a pass, but the Brighton keeper somehow… somehow saved the Netherlands and effectively gave them qualification as it remained 2-1 until Turpin’s final whistle!
