75'
Wales fans won't thanks me for saying this, but this game stinks of late, heartbreaking equaliser.

While he receives treatment, Turkey send on Dervisoglu for Karaman.
74'
Moore goes up with Soyuncu, who yanks his face for him and drawis blood.

These last few minutes are going to be proper frantic. Let's have them.

And here comes Wales' change - Ampadu it is, but for Allen.

Change for Turkey, Muldur replacing Meras.
72'
I wonder if Wales might bring on Ampadu for Morrel to give them a little more midfield solidity.
71'
A long cross finds Under at the far post and Under jumps with Davies, bundling the ball back into the air and towards Yilmaz, who has to generate all the power himself ... and can only plop a header into Ward's arms.
70'
Very gradually but very definitely, Turkey are turning it up.
69'
Calhanoglu drives towards the Wales box but when he looks for Yilmaz, a phalanx of defenders block the route.
68'
World class is strong, I'd say, but he's still got a lot of ability.
67'
I mentioned Bale bodinning his penalty; this is what I was referring to...
66'
Karaman lifts a ball into the box for Yilmaz, but Davies, who's defended superbly so far, heads it away.
65'
So far in this competition, more penalties have been missed than scored.
64'
It's almost as though Bale knew Eurosport's blogger had a few pennies on Wales to win to nil and him to score.
63'
Turkey have been saved and they know they've been saved, so quickly win a corner. Under takes it and picks out Yazici, who's furious with himself for heading straight at Ward.
61'
Dearie me, that was a poor penalty. Before it, Bale looked confident, but perhaps he was too confident, only he knows. It was confidently-taken, it was just an absolute mess of an execution but what's this?! Cakir tries a clearance, it hammers into Bale ... and shoots just past the near post!

HE'S BODINED IT! BALE HAS BODINED IT! He steps up, pauses, then larrups way over the bar! that is foolish behaviour!

PENALTY TO WALES! Bale runs at the befuddled Celik and dips outside him, right on the line of the box, left-hand side. Celik can't help but extend a leg, Bale can't help but fall over it even if he wants top but he doesn't, and this is qualification right here!

Roberts tricks his way to the by-line and clips back well for Moore, who clips a first-time snap-shot goalwards ... it takes a slight deflection too, making Cakir's save all the better - and it was pretty good without it.
