Belgium Vs. Turkey, 2012 Euro Qualifying: 1-1 Halftime

Belgium have had much more of the possession and the much better in the play of the first half of their Euro 2012 qualifying match against Turkey, and they took a deserved early lead as a result, but they’re locked in a 1-1 draw at halftime after Turkey found a great equalizer against the run of play. A draw would keep Belgium in second place in Group A, which would mean they control their own destiny as far as qualifying for a playoff to get into Euro 2012, but a win would put them in position that would be crippling to Austria and Turkey.

The opening goal was scored by Marvin Ogunjimi just four minutes into the game, scoring on a rebound after an assist from Nacer Chadli. The Belgians continued to press forward afterwards, but they were hit back on the counter by Turkey, as Arda Turan provided a nice setup for a Burak Yilmaz finish, leveling the game at 1-1.
