Turkey, who suffered a 2-1 home defeat by Russia in their opening League B Group 2 game, started well and had lots of possession but the final ball into the box often lacked quality. Galatasaray midfielder Emre Akbaba inpsires sensational Turkey comeback victory with late equaliser & last-gasp winner 👏👏👏 #NationsLeague pic.twitter.com/lNlH77JKhN — UEFA Nations League (@UEFAEURO) September 10, 2018Sweden had taken the lead in their opening Nations League match when Isaac Kiese-Thelin scored 10 minutes before the break, flicking Viktor Claesson's cushioned header against the post before slotting home the rebound. Claesson got on the scoresheet himself four minutes into the second half, drifting in from the left before releasing a rocket of a shot from distance that flew into the net. Hakan Calhanoglu quickly threw Turkey a lifeline, pulling a goal back two minutes later with a deflected shot that wrong-footed home keeper Olsen. RESULT:Sweden 2 (Thelin 35, Claesson 49) Turkey 3 (Calhanoglu 51, Akbaba 88, 90+2)
