Turkey defeated Moldova with a 4-0 win in Group H of the EURO 2020 qualifiers on Tuesday night

Turkey opened the scoring at Zimbru Stadium in Kishinev, when Everton striker Cenk Tosun managed to get past the keeper with a chip and scored easily in the 37th minute.

Fenerbahce's Deniz Türüç gave Turkey an insurance goal with a beautiful long-distance free-kick in the 57th minute. Tosun added another in the 79th minute with a header after Hakan Çalhanoğlu's volley came back from the crossbar.

Lille player Yusuf Yazıcı had the last goal of the match with a classy finish in the 88th minute to seal the 4-0 victory. This goal was Yusuf's first goal for Turkey in his national team career.

Turkey increased the total of its points to 15 and sits top of the group along with France which also boasts 15 points. With its second loss in Group H, Iceland slipped to third spot with 12 points in six matches.

This was Turkey's fifth victory in group matches in the qualifiers. It will resume its campaign next month by taking on Albania on Matchday Seven. Tuesday's game also marked Turkey's ninth win against Moldova in international matches between the two teams.

Turkey's coach Şenol Güneş said there was "no room for surprises" in the match though they couldn't find opportunities to score much in the first half. "We are doing well but would feel much better if we win against Iceland," Güneş said, referring to their only loss in qualifiers. Güneş acknowledged that Albania was a tough rival and "good in away games."

"It has been a very good week. It has gone well personally and collectively," Coman told television station TF1.
