Both teams elect for two strikers up top, but I've given up on wing play for the opening portion of the match. Please play better tonight, I beg of yous. #FM26

Our depth has been shattered after injuries for Bazunu, Knight and even Melia himself! It's not a happy weekend for the team at all. We have to beat Ukraine to maintain second in the group with two games to play. #FM26

McAteer was hurt in the second-half. I don't think we have the depth required on the wings, so I'm going to go for a more narrow formation and call up Mason Melia to give us four strikers. #FM26

This was the polar opposite to our joyous victory over Sweden last time out. Turkiye were dominant in nearly every department in the first-half, and didn't retreat too often in the second. Our only crumb of comfort is that Belarus won 1-0 against Ukraine. #FM26

This goal needed to be given for us to stand a chance, but unfortunately, Michael Noonan was offside. I can accept that. #FM26

That's just sickening stuff. What happened? And how do we fix it? :\ #FM26

I'm in disbelief that I didn't get a screenshot of the replay. The corner finds the head of Akcicek for a 3-0 advantage to Turkiye! :\ #FM26

Good grief, we concede again! Absolutely hopeless defending allows Yilmaz a rebound goal. #FM26

Not him again! Alper Yilmaz tucks a gorgeous shot into the top corner to give the visitors the first strike of the contest! #FM26

Home defeats are very costly in a Nations League campaign, so let's be courageous and play to win against Turkiye! #FM26

#FM26 #AfricanKings Part 10: An Enforced Backwards Step. A lack of job offers forces Trebor Mahtal to take a role at semi-pro Niger side AS Police. And a slow start sets the scene for a wasted season of regression.

Read here:

Finally, our dismal away form has a slight trend up! We had to go for broke and thankfully our moment arrived to the right person in the right place! Turkiye at home matters greatly! They beat us at Euro 2028 in Dublin, so revenge is on the mind! #FM26

Chaos in the box! Golding to Goodrham...blocked! Parrott tries to pass, but a yellow shirt knocks it towards Moran! All square! Fantastic! :) #FM26

Ach, it's a nothing coming together in the box, but the ref says penalty! Kelleher guessed the correct way, but it was pinpoint in the bottom left corner (from his perspective). 72 mins. played, Ukraine ahead 2-1. :\ #FM26

Oh, McAteer! How did he see that run and then deliver the through ball like that!? Ferguson couldn't miss! :) #FM26

We've hardly done much wrong, but it's a 1-0 deficit for us to take into half-time. Turkiye turned around a sluggish start against Belarus to lead 2-1 at half-time. C'mon lads! #FM26

Lunin has kept all of our chances safely out of the net, but Mudryk has found his way in behind to score for the hosts! #FM26
