Nations League: Ozan Kabak plays 90 minutes

Turkey took a point from their trip to Russia on matchday three of the Nations League. The home side opened the scoring through Anton Miranchuk (28’) and held the led at half-time. Turkey, for whom Ozan Kabak played the full 90 minutes, improved in the second half and found a deserved equaliser through Kenan Karaman (62’) to secure a draw. Ahmed Kutucu did not play in Russia. Senol Günes’ men lie in third place in their group with two points from three games ahead of a clash with Serbia in Istanbul on Wednesday (14/10).

Austria were able to celebrate a deserved 1-0 win over Northern Ireland in the Nations League, with former Schalke player Michael Gregoritsch (42’) scoring a header in a first half dominated by the side from the Alps. Franco Foda’s team looked secure throughout as they saw out the win. Alessandro Schöpf took no part in the action. The victory brings Austria level with Norway (both on six points) in second place of their group in League B. The next fixture takes place on Wednesday (14/10) against Romania.

Earlier in the afternoon, Rabbi Matondo’s Wales had earned a point in Ireland. A 0-0 draw ensured that the Welsh remain undefeated in their Nations League campaign, with seven points from three matches in League B. The visitors played the final few minutes with a numerical advantage after Ireland’s James McClean received a second yellow card in the 83rd minute. Wales, for whom Matondo did not make an appearance, failed to make the advantage count, however. The Dragons face Bulgaria on matchday four on Wednesday (14/10).
