Nations League: Turkey misses out on promotion, Wales celebrates

Turkey's promotion hopes dashed

Turkey's hopes of promotion to League A of the UEFA Nations League were dashed on Sunday as they were held to a 3-3 draw by Luxembourg in their final group game.

The result means that Turkey finished second in Group 1 behind Greece, who won 2-0 away to the Faroe Islands.

Turkey needed to win by a four-goal margin to leapfrog Greece, but they were unable to do so despite taking an early lead through Cengiz Ünder.

Wales secures promotion to League A

In the other Group 1 game, Wales secured promotion to League A with a 1-0 victory over the Republic of Ireland.

Kieffer Moore scored the only goal of the game in the 75th minute to give Wales the win.

Wales finished top of the group with 16 points, two points ahead of Turkey.

Turkey manager Şenol Güneş was disappointed with his team's performance.

"We didn't play well today," he said. "We made too many mistakes and we were punished for them."

Wales manager Robert Page was delighted with his team's performance.

"I'm very proud of my players," he said. "They showed great character and determination to get the win."

Conclusion

Turkey's failure to win promotion to League A will be a disappointment for the team and their fans.

However, Wales' promotion to League A is a significant achievement for the team and their manager.
