Turkey overrun Australia

Turkey scored the only goal of an at times bruising first half when Australian captain and keeper Mark Schwarzer was found wanting by skidding 30 metre free-kick from Ümit Özat after 42 minutes.
The home side pulled one back when Marco Bresciano converted a penalty kick after having been brought down at the edge of the box in the 47th minute by clumsy tackle from Bülent Korkmaz.
However, two goals by veteran striker Hakan ?ükür in the 67th and 76th minutes wrapped up the match. The second game of the series will be played in Melbourne on Monday.
