Just thinking about that corner routine, So very clever.
I was obviously delighted it led to the goal but if you are a defence and that exact thing happened a moment before wouldn't you look to stop it.

That was the clever part. Sieze the initiative, do the same thing again quick before they've had a chance to think about it. |  |

With time ticking away I think the Turkish defence just didn't want to challenge as it would have led to another corner. They needed the ball to stay in play and it made them indecisive. |  | | |

Reminded me of an Ipswich game . Last game of season at home to Wimbledon back in 2003.. We were already down 1-4 and they were running down the clock and took the ball into the corner flag. Town were so disinterested in trying to get the ball they crossed and scored a fifth. One of too many abysmal town performances over past 20 years.
Sad how many games such as this stick in your memory for the wrong reasons. |  |

The Turks seemed to have memories of goldfish. Falling for it once is bad enough, but twice? They're a poor, poor side.
Edit - just to add. The pleasing thing about that (and their approach in the second half in general) is they didn't just settle for the 1-0. A lot of teams would be happy to just kill the game at one nil and try and keep the ball in the corner, inevitably losing it 8 seconds later. [Post edited 17 Jun 2021 10:36]
