89'
...great save by Jiang, pushing away a shot from Ilhan Mansiz that looked to be heading for the top corner
88'
Hakan Sas again looks dangerous. He plays the ball in to Hakan Sukur, and the cheeky backheel creates the chance for Ilhan Mansiz...
87'
Ilhan Mansiz now has a shot on goal as Turkey look for four, an Jiang pushes the shot round the post
86'

81'
A foul by Hakan Sas there. It's a yellow card
80'
Turkey push forward again and Ilhan Mansiz is played through, but up goes the flag
79'
Emre Asik tries a snap shot which goes just wide
78'
...but foolishly he opts to shoot. What a waste
78'
China come forward now. It's Qu on the ball, surely he must find a forward in the box...
77'
...but Ilhan Mansiz sees his shot fly over the bar
76'
Ilhan Mansiz is looking lively. He has a shot but it hits a defender, the ball comes back to him...

74'
A change for China, Yang going off for Yu
73'
Ilhan Mansiz tries a shot, but it's easily saved

Corner to Turkey. The cross comes in and Hakan Sukur's there...
70'
Hakan Sukur has another shot on goal, but there's no danger for Jiang

68'

65'
64'
Hakan Unsal this time fouls Hao
64'
Li now brings down Fatih Akyel. Yellow card for him
63'
62'
...but Umit Davala can only head straight at Jiang
61'
The free-kick on the edge of the box is taken by Hakan Sas, and there's Umit Davala...
60'
Shao is given his marching orders, Emre will have stud marks on the back of his leg after that challenge

58'

58'

56'
55'

52'
Tugay sends Zhao to the floor
51'
...but Jiang is equal to the effort, making a fine save diving down to his left
50'
Turkey start to pile on some pressure. Sas shows his silky skills, cuts inside onto his left and unleashes a great shot...
49'
Turkey break well now, with Umit Davala on the right. There's two men waiting in the box for his cross, but it's overhit. Goal kick
48'
The second half follows the first with a foul early doors - Yang bringing down Basturk
47'
A change for China as Wu is replaced by Shao
46'
45'
Turkey are going through at the moment, but a goal for Costa Rica, who are 3-1 down to Brazil, would put them in the driving seat
45'
45'
...the referee says no penalty - and books Yang for diving
45'
China break forward now and Yang breaks into the box. He goes down under a challenge....
45'
Two minutes to be added
44'
China win a corner, but nothing comes of it
43'
Turkey come forward now and the ball is played through the centre. There's confusion - two balls on the pitch, and the referee has to stop play
42'
Basturk tries a snap shot from the edge of the box, but his effort goes over the bar
41'
Hakan Sukur looks to break through, but again the flag is up for offside

30'
...a great effort from Hakan Sukur just goes over the bar
29'
A corner is floated in by Turkey and Hakan Sukur is there...
29'
A yellow card for Emre now after a foul on Li. Both Emres now on a booking - and both miss the next match
28'
Another foul, this time by Hao on Tugay
27'
...a brilliant first time volley by Yang comes crashing back off the upright. So close
26'
Hao works well on the left, causing the Turkish defence problems. He gets the cross in for Yang....
25'
The game's become a bit niggly now, Hakan Unsal bringing down Zhao
24'
Recber lands awkwardly after jumping to collect the ball and needs treatment - he is unable to take the goal kick afterwards
23'
This time other other Emre commits on foul, on Xu. The free-kick is floated in, but it's too stronf and goes out of play
22'
Another foul by Emre Asik, this time on Yang
21'
The booking for Emre Asik means he will miss the second round game should Brazil get through
20'
Turkey break now but the offside flag goes up against Hakan Sukur
19'
Wu hits the free-kick towards goal, but he fails to trouble the goalkeeper
18'
Emre Asik brings down Hao. That's a yellow card for the Turkish player
18'
Li tries a shot from the edge of the box for shell-shocked China - it's wide of the target, however
17'
...but the final pass is disappointing and another opportunity goes begging
17'
Basturk is coming forward again - Turkey are outnumbering their opponents in this break...
16'
...he fires in a well-struck shot, which isn't too far wide of the mark. Almost three with a little over a quarter of an hour gone
15'
Unsal takes on the defence and makes himself space on the left of the area...
14'
China hit back to win a corner - but it's easily dealt with and their hopes of a World Cup finals goal are looking unlikely to be realised here
13'
...the linesman's flag, though, is up for offside
12'
Hakan Sukur looks to create more problems for the China defence...
11'
Turkey's dream of qualifying could come true - they'll be more than happy with the way things are going
10'
Hao attempts to get China back into proceedings, but his shot fails to cause much concern
10'
A great first ten minutes for them, and it's fair to say they've taken this game by the scruff of the neck
9'
Sure enough, the Turks double their lead: a cross from Sas is met by Korkmaz and the ball loops into the net. It's 2-0 Turkey!
9'
Nothing comes of that one, but more goals are looking likely - even at this early stage of the game
8'
The momentum continues: Basturk fires in a long-range effort which is blocked at the expense of a corner
7'
That's what Turkey have deserved for their start to the game - they've taken an all-out attacking approach
6'
...that pressure is rewarded when Sas takes advantage of a defensive slip to take the ball on and fire it low past the keeper. It's 1-0 Turkey!
5'
It comes to nothing, and they soon find themselves under pressure again as Turkey move forward once more
4'
China try to work their way back into the game and win a corner...
3'
...then Sas sets off on a typically purposeful run - the ball is only just cleared
2'
It's towards Hasan Sas, who has had an excellent tournament so far, but just eludes him
1'
But it's Turkey who make the more positive start, and an early cross is fired in...
China looking for their first goal of the World Cup - something to lift the spirits of players and fans alike
