Bitter evening for Turkey, who drew 0-0 against Wales, despite a penalty in favor close to the ninetieth minute and also lost Calhanoglu, stopped due to injury and replaced at the end of the first half.
At the end of the match, the author of the eleven meter error, Kerem Akturkogluhe admitted: “What do I want to say to the fans? I’m not in a position to talk about it much at the moment. I hope we can fix it as soon as possible. First of all, we would like to thank the fans and the people of Kayseri. It was a really great environment and we wanted to give them a victory worthy of this environment. In fact, in the last minutes we came close to this, unfortunately we weren’t able to come out of here with the victory due to the penalty I missed. For this reason I would like to apologize first to my comrades and then to us, all of Turkey and our people. I hope that both myself and my teammates will have the opportunity to make amends as soon as possible. “We will get to Serie A, which is our aim and objective in the match with Montenegro,” he said.
