Eren Elmali

ANALYSIS
Elmali came into the side at left wing back ahead of Ferdi Kadioglu as Turkey made several changes following their tournament exit and delivered at both ends of the pitch. He created two chances and played a strong part in the opening goal, with his involvement leading to the move that ended with Orkun Kokcu's shot being deflected in by Baris Alper Yilmaz, even if the assist was not officially credited to him. He also had one shot himself. Defensively he was equally impressive, winning five of six duels and contributing two tackles, two interceptions, two clearances and one block. A performance that deserved a bigger stage, coming after Turkey had already been eliminated the game before. A complete performance that unfortunately arrived after Turkey's tournament was already over.
