-
62'Roberts is down after getting hit in an uncomfortable area.
-
62'Bale nearly scores in comical fashion like Benzema on Karius! Soyuncu passes the ball to Cakir, he takes a touch, Bale charges it down and the ball goes just wide of the goal!
-
61'Bale takes and he blazes it over the goal!! That was an awful pen!
-
60'Penalty to Wales!! Celik fouls Bale in the box and the ref points to the spot! The only issue is whether it's in or out the box, but it's in. Good call.

-
45'Turkey double sub: Demiral and Yazici are on for Tufan and Yokuslu.
-
45'HT: Turkey 0-1 Wales!! Half-time in Baku and Wales deservedly lead thanks to Aaron Ramsey's goal. He and Bale have combined on several occasions and Ramsey could have scored earlier as well. The Welsh definitely look the sharper while Yilmaz and Ayhan have come the closest for the Turks. Back shortly for more!
-
45'Yilmaz is penalised for a foul as we go into one added minute!
-
44'Under gets a corner for Turkey at the other end as they look to respond to the goal.
