Turkish National team beat Austria 1-2   in Vienna , Tuesday night .
This was 13th straight win for Fatih Terim and his boys...
Austrian midfielder Zlatko Junuzovic scored the first goal of the match in the 22nd minute when Turks made a huge mistake on defense covering the attack ! 

Turkish National team 's equalizer came in the 43rd minute with a superb free kick by Hakan Calhanoglu ....
I think , he was the player of the match ,in this match !

The third  was a lucky for Turkey and unlucky for Austria's keeper Ramazan Ozcan ..
In the  56th minute,  Ramazan Ozcan made a huge mistake while he was trying to pass the ball to his teammate his pass went to Arda Turan who was just outside of the box ....
Arda Turan flopped the ball into the net !
