OGUZHAN OZYAKUP membuka kemenangan bagi timnya setelah laga berlangsung delapan menit dengan gol internasional pertamanya sebelum Arda Turan menggandakan keunggulan bagi tuan rumah 'dengan mengecoh kiper Jasper Cillessen. Burak Yilmaz memastikan kemenangan 3-0 lima menit menjelang akhir pertandingan.

Kualifikasi Piala Eropa 2016 menempatkan timnas Belanda terpuruk di klasemen akibat kekalahan telak pada Minggu setelah dikalahkan Turki 3-0 dan melorot ke posisi keempat di klasemen Grup A.

Manajer Danny Blind bersama skuad asuhannya kini tertinggal dua poin dari Turki, yang naik ke peringkat tiga dan berpeluang menjalani laga play-off di Grup A. Dua timnas teratas otomatis lolos kualifikasi tapi dengan dua sisa pertandingan, Belanda bakal kesulitan untuk lolos setelah Islandia dan Republik Ceko mengumpulkan poin lebih banyak.

Kekalahan ini sekaligus memupus peluang penting Belanda lolos ke Euro 2016 untuk merebut tempat ketiga tapi kesempatan tersebut pun nihil. Dalam dua laga tersisa melalui laga tandang di Kazakhstan dan laga kandang menghadapi Republik Ceko pada Oktober dan mereka berharap Turki kalah dari Republik Ceko atau Islandia, seperti dilansir MailOnline.


OGUZHAN OZYAKUP opened the scoring after eight minutes with his first international goal before Arda Turan doubled the hosts' lead by beating Jasper Cillessen. Burak Yilmaz sealed victory five minutes from the end.

Holland's Euro 2016 qualifying campaign was plunged into further disarray on Sunday as they were beaten 3-0 by Turkey and dropped to fourth in Group A.

Danny Blind's side are now two points behind Turkey, who have moved third and occupy the play-off spot in the group. The first two teams automatically qualify but with only two games remaining, Holland cannot catch the current occupiers, Iceland and Czech Republic, who have both qualified.

This defeat means the only way Holland will be able to reach Euro 2016 is via a finish of third but now their fate is out of their hands. Their final two games of qualifying are away to Kazakhstan and at home to Czech Republic in October and they need Turkey to drop points against the Czechs or Iceland.
