Netherlands 2-0 Turkey
Two new coaches and two young team....
Louis van Gaal, for Dutch team.......
And, Abdullah Avci , for Turkey.....
One, former World class player and second time with Dutch National team ......
The other one, made his name in Turkish football with U-17 National team and Municipal Istanbul team , Buyuk Sehir in the Turkish Super League.....
Fresh start for both of them....
First match for both of them with their teams in this qualification group..
This was the team , Turkey could beat or at least get a draw!
Because, Dutch had a very young team on the pitch.....
On the other hand ,Abdullah Avci, shoot him self in the leg, with not playing the brain of the team, Selcuk Inan!
His reason was , he did not play him because of His tactic against Holland team!
Do you buy that?
I dont.....
Any way not starting with Selcuk Inan in the midfield and Gokhan Gonul on the right full back was big wrong..
Instead , He played , Hamit Altintop on right full back instead of right midfield...
That is why, whole match ,Turkey's right side was like a big hole.....
They could not stop Holland from right side....
Turkish National team , started with a loss in the WC qualifier...
Next Tuesday they face Estonia at home in Istanbul...
Match Report......
Robin Van Persie opened the scoring in the 16th minute and Luciano Narsingh added a second in stoppage time as the Dutch registered a morale-boosting victory following their poor Euro 2012 showing. Turkey posed a threat to the Dutch goal from the very first whistle, and inside a minute had forced a corner from which Omar Toprak flashed a header just wide. Turkish National team continued to press and in the fifth minute Emre Belozoglu's low drive was charged down by Johnny Heitinga. Toprak was again in the thick of the action from another corner in the 14th minute but this time directed his header straight at Tim Krul in the Holland goal. Given all of their early pressure Turkish National team will have been frustrated to fall behind against the run of play in the 16th minute. United new boy Van Persie has started the new season like a train for the Old Trafford club with four goals in three league games, and he transferred that form to the international stage tonight with his 30th goal for the Oranje. Van Persie nodded home with a header Wesley Sneijder's set-piece. Sneijder stung the palms of Tolga Zengin in the 23rd minute as the hosts looked to doubled their lead, but Turkey fired a warning of their threat within a minute as Arda Turan twice fired just wide. And the Dutch had a lucky escape in the 40th minute when Tunay Torun's free-kick was met by the head of Umut Bulut but the ball came back off the crossbar. Turkey continued to press after the break and in the 57th minute Hamit Altintop's powerful effort from 25 yards produced a superb save from Krul. Leroy Fer eased the pressure on the Dutch goal with a hopeful effort in the 62nd minute that was always rising, but within three minutes Turkey were on the attack again, Sercan Sararer heading just over from six yards. Mehmet Topal also went close for the visitors in what time remained, but try as they might the equaliser just would not come. And that allowed the Dutch to add a rather flattering gloss to the scoreline in the third minute of injury time as Narsingh picked the ball up on the edge of the Turkey area and netted with a cute lofted finish. There was still time for the hosts to threaten a third, but Van Persie blazed over after connecting with Sneijder's centre.
