Much of the credit for Turkey’s victory in the Laugardalsvöllur stadium in Iceland goes to Arda Güler. In the eighty-eighth minute, the Real Madrid player scored his team’s third goal. The away team took home three crucial points in the Nations League during a thrilling match.
Iceland’s lead was extended by Oskarsson in the third minute. However, Calhanoglu’s penalty kick in the 67th minute and Kahveci’s goal in the 62nd minute tied the score. Gudjohnsen tied the score once more in the 83rd minute, but Turkey won thanks to goals from Arda Güler in the 88th and Akturkoglu in extra time. They haven’t lost in the Nations League and now sit atop their group with two more points than Wales.
