EUROPE'S "COMEBACK KINGS" DOES IT AGAIN!..
Turkish National Team recovered from a goal down to beat Bosnia 2-1 with two second half headers in their World Cup Group Five qualifying game on Saturday.
New kid on the block,Mevlut Erdinc grabbed the winner in the 66th minute helped by some shoddy defending after Sabri Sarioglu equalised in the 51st following a scramble in front of goal after a free kick.
Bosnia's Edin Dzeko had opened the scoring with a header in the 27th as the Balkan team suddenly got into their stride, although a frustrated Turkey had more first-half chances.
"It was unpleasant to concede a goal but we didn't give up and after it we fought like lions," said Turkey coach Fatih Terim whose team stepped up the pace in the second half.
Turkey, semi-finalists at Euro 2008 and the 2002 World Cup, now have seven points from three matches before visiting Estonia in their next qualifier on Wednesday.
