0-2 - The last time #TUR were trailing 0-2 at the Euros, they won 3-2 (v Czech Republic in 2008). Hope.

45 min: And that's the whistle. Turkey have made one change replacing Hakan Calhanoglu with Nuri Sahin.

47 min: Turkey are enjoying a long passage of play as they work the ball all the way from the back line, down the left flank and into the box. Jordi Alba is there to meet the cross to the back post though and Spain regain possession.

GOAL! Spain 3-0 Turkey (Morata, 48 min): Spain are doing what they do best and have simply passed Turkey to death in the build up to their third goal. Iniesta seizes possession five yards out on the edge of the Turkish box and slots Jordi Alaba in behind the defence with a well-timed pass. Instead of shooting, he takes Babacan out of the equation and selfishly squares to Morata to his right who knocks the ball into an open goal.

51 min: Turkey really need to roll up their sleeves and dig deep if they're to avoid an embarrassing scoreline. Burak shows he's still got some fire though as he cuts inwards with the ball inside the Spanish box, loses his man and takes aim at the far top left-hand corner. But it's over hit and soars into the crowd.

55 min: Free-kick for Turkey towards the left of the Spanish penalty area. It's a threatening ball and is pumped into the heart of the box but Ramos gets there first to head the danger away.
