Turkey beat Iceland 1-0 in their final Euro 2016 Group A game to book a place in the tournament.

The Crescent Stars needed just a point to book a place in the play-off but due to Kazakhstan beating Latvia a victory for Terim’s boys would have ensure victory.

Galatasaray star Selçuk İnan scored the winning goal from an 89th minute free-kick to book Turkey a place in their first European Championships since 2008.

Manchester United target Hakan Çalhanoğlu also started for Turkey. The 21-year-old will cost the Red Devils £30 million according to Tutto Mercato Web (via the Mirror‘s Aaron Flanagan) and will be able to showcase his skills this summer.

The Czech Republic ended qualifying first from Group A after beating the Netherlands 3-2 at the Amsterdam Arena and Iceland went through in second place.
