A catastrophic error costs Turkey dearly against France | Goal.com
Turkey goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir was sent off against France on Friday during the hosts' 1-0 defeat, in the first round of the UEFA Nations League group stage.
Kylian Mbappe had put France ahead in the 54th minute, and Turkey were chasing an equaliser when a long ball sent Liverpool forward Bradley Barcola clean through, one-on-one with Cakir. The goalkeeper raced out of his penalty area and blocked the Frenchman's shot with his hand. A clear foul.

Play waved on, the referee only acted when VAR called him over for a review. He returned to the pitch and brandished a straight red card in the 87th minute, all but ending Turkey's hopes of a comeback.
