On Wednesday in Group A, after losing 0-2 to Wales, Turkey’s Euro 2020 campaign is over. At the same time, this win means that Wales are on the verge of qualifying for the last 16.
Having already lost to Italy in the very first match of Euro 2020, and after losing 0-2 to Wales, Turkey’s Euro 2020 campaign is over.
Meanwhile, after Turkey-Wales, the Wales national team is on the verge of qualifying for the Euro 2020 knockout stages.
Gareth Bale set up two goals in Wales’ 2-0 win over Turkey, despite a poor penalty miss.
Gareth Bale missed a penalty exactly at the hour mark, the 60th-minute mark, but his two assists compensated for that.
Bale sliced wide from 12 yards with just over an hour remaining, squandering the chance to put Wales up.
However, before that, it was Bale himself who set up Aaron Ramsey for Wales’ first team goal. At 42 minutes in the Baku fixture, Bale assisted Ramsey, who scored for Wales.
After Bale’s penalty miss, despite the setback, Euro 2016 semi-finalists Wales held their nerve in the defence.
Then, Bale made amends with another spectacular assist, this time for Connor Roberts to score with the game’s final kick.
The goal was final in more ways than one. This second goal, sealing Wales’ win, arriving late, at 90+5 minutes in death time.
This 0-2 win has propelled Wales to the top of Group A, at least for the time being.
But even the four best third-placed teams will qualify through to the last 16.
So, Wales seem to be in good shape to reach the knockout stages.
