Türkiye left it late before sealing qualification for EURO 2024 with a flurry of goals against a plucky Latvia side.
Yunus Akgün’s stunning volley just before the hour set the hosts on their way, and after Latvia’s Janis Ikaunieks had a header cleared off the line and rattled the crossbar with another, Cenk Tosun came off the bench to score a double.
Making his 50th appearance, his goals fell either side of a neat Kerem Akturkoglu finish, with the last three strikes coming in the space of six minutes.
Elsewhere, Wales boosted their qualifying hopes with a hard-earned victory in Cardiff.
Harry Wilson broke the deadlock in the 47th minute when he latched onto David Brooks’ through ball and neatly flicked past the advancing Dominik Livakovic.
Wilson then doubled the lead on the hour mark when he glanced home Daniel James’ cross. Substitute Mario Pasalic headed in Luka Modric’s corner to halve the deficit 15 minutes from time, but Wales held out for all three points.
Albania could have clinched qualification on Sunday if results had gone their way in Group E, but that prospect was scuppered when Czechia edged the Faroe Islands 1-0 in Plzen.
