Amsterdam - The Netherlands survived the defeat against Turkey in the European Cup qualifier in 2016. The points gained from this match was enough to make the Dutch coach, Guus Hiddink, satisfied.
Entertaining Turkey in the Amsterdam ArenA on Sunday (29/03/2015) pm dawn, Netherlands reap a draw 1-1. The host left earlier after Burak Yilmaz scored in the first half.
In the second half, the Dutch were finally able to increase the intensity of the attack Turkey goalkeeper Volkan Babacan guarded. Wesley Sneijder kick in injury time strike Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and into the net.
"We almost did not create anything in the whole game. They are also the same but they scored," said Hiddink told UEFA's official website.
"Then they just build a wall in front of goal and is very difficult to penetrate. At a certain point, I think we took a good decision to change the game plan and we had several chances in injury time. In the end, we could get a good point."
With the addition of the points from this match, the Netherlands still ranks third in Group A with seven points from five games. They left behind six points from the Czech Republic who is in the top position.
"If we do not get points then the situation will be very difficult. In the team, we have a few players who have never played a game as difficult as this," said Hiddink.
"The Games will provide an opportunity for young players. I believe these players can still grow," he added.(detikSport)
