Turkey comeback denies Three Lions Futsal victory

England 3-4 Turkey
Four Nations Tournament
Saturday 3 April
Thepoint4, The Royal College for the Blind, Hereford

An incredible game in Hereford saw Turkey comeback to beat England in the Four Nations Tournament.

The visitors dominated the first half and took a 2-0 lead showing why they are ranked 30 places higher than England.

However, Pete Sturgess's side started the second period in energetic fashion, grabbing three quick-fire goals to race into a 3-2 lead.

England then absorbed wave after wave of Turkish attacks before finally conceding an equaliser with five minutes remaining.

Extra-time was looming until Turkey stole the game with almost the last kick of the game - just three seconds were left on the clock.

A cruel finish to a brave England performance
