Türkiye on Thursday surprised as they claimed a 1-0 win over Croatia in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, inching closer to securing a spot in next year's tournament in Germany, according to Daily Sabah.
Led for the first time by new coach Vincenzo Montella, Türkiye moved to the top of Group D with 13 points from six games, three ahead of Croatia, who have played a game fewer.
The win came thanks to a goal on the half-hour by Barış Alper Yılmaz.
In the other Group D match, Latvia won 2-0 against third-place Armenia at home.
Türkiye will play against Latvia on Sunday.
The top two from each group will qualify automatically for Euro 2024 in Germany.
