U.S. U-17 Men's National Team Beats Turkey




Turkey's U-17(16)'s started the match in very shaky grounds and sat in their half of the field whole first half of the match and than after with ten men they played a lot more better in the second half but lost the match in the last minutes of the match!


In 2010 ,Turkey beat USA, 2-1 and won the Nike International Friendlies Tournament....

But this year, they loss to US in the last minute!

For Yanks,Herber Mejia Flores score in the 88th minute on an assist from Wesley Wade as the US U-17 men's national team earned 2-1 victory over young Turks....

US scored first in the match from a corner kick in the 18th minute......

Jorge Calix gave a short pass to Junior Flores, who crossed the ball into the box and Tyler Turner head at the back post, as Turkey goalkeeper from Goztepe's Junior team from Izmir, Mehmet Goktug Bakirbas scrambled!


Young Turks were reduced to 10 men in the 40th minute after Yusuf Selim Sahin was sent off for a two-footed, studs up challenge on Flores.


After down a player and a goal Turkey starting to play in attacking mode in the second half..

In the 47th minute, young Turks powered into the US end. Mustafa Batuhan Altinas who plays for Bursaspor Junior team made his way in front of goal and fired into the near top corner...

After young Turks missing a good couple chances, young yanks turned up the heat again...

Young Turkish keeper from Goztepe team,Mehmet Goktug Bakirbas had a couple of good saves before US scored the winning goal!

Actual Turkey was better side in the second half until the 88th minute goal....
