Turkey beat Luxembroug 2-1 in an international friendly at the Josy Barthel stadium but head coach Fatih Terim revealed that he was more concerned with the events that unfolded in Turkey.

“I do not think we should really talk about football today, I am sorry for the prosecutor that lost his life and then the electrics went out across the country, it was not a terrible day,” Terim was quoted as saying by Sporx.
