Turkey A National Team, coached by Guus Hiddink, beat Estonia 3-0 in a friendly game. The match was played in T\u00fcrk Telekom Arena which was hosting a national team match for the first time. Turkey got the win by first half goals which came from team captain, Emre Bel\u00f6zo\u011flu ( Min. 8 ) by a penalty and Kaz\u0131m Kaz\u0131m’s double strike (Min. 25 and 35).<\/p>\n

Turkey Captain Emre Belozoglu booed in TT Arena<\/span><\/p>\n

Captain Emre kept his cool to score from the spot in the eighth minute after the midfielder was felled by Ragnar Klavan, helping silence a chorus of boos directed at him by the fans.<\/p>\n

Emre was questioned by Turkish prosecutors earlier this month in a match-fixing probe involving his club Fenerbahce which has shocked the nation, ensuring him a hostile reception at the Turk Telekom arena, home of local rivals Galatasaray. The dislike of the Turkish fans of the team’s captain was clear.<\/p>\n

Kazim lit up a long dull spell with a stunning long-range shot in the 28th minute, turning after a pass from Emre to blast the ball into the corner of the net.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old netted another in the 35th minute from outside the penalty area after a pass from Sel\u00e7uk \u0130nan.<\/p>\n

Turkey -Estonia Friendly : Look like an easy win but Turkey defence show weakness at the start<\/h3>\n

Estonia’s best chance came from a Konstantin Vassiljev free-kick in the 53rd minute, which was comfortably saved by goalkeeper Sinan Bolat.<\/p>\n

Guus Hiddink’s Turkey, who are best placed to secure second spot behind runaway leaders Germany in Euro 2012 qualifying Group A, host Kazakhstan on Sept. 2 and host Austria four days later. Estonia are second-from bottom in Group C.<\/p>\n

Turkey and Estonia will face each other in European qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.<\/p>\n

Hiddink has faced criticism during his tenure for Turkey’s patchy performances during their Euro 2012 qualifying campaign, which has included a 1-0 loss away to Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n
