Turkey became the fifth nation to record this performance for the home matches in last 20 years.

Italy also completed their home games with very successful defensive form at the EURO 2012 qualifiers, without conceding any goal.

Turkey became the only nation to have eight clean sheets in the qualifying round with an outstanding defensive performance.

Having conceded only three goals, they recorded the most successful defensive form along with Belgium.

In Turkey's defensive line, center back tandem, Merih Demiral from Juventus and Leicester City player Caglar Soyuncu, were vital players in fight for the UEFA EURO 2020 ticket.
