Oct. 31, 2007
A seventh-minute breakaway put Turkey ahead, and with the U.S. pushing forward throughout the game, Shane Cooke finally evened the score in the 78th minute. Chris Agorsor played a through ball to the onrushing Cooke, who slotted the ball home.
Just three minutes later, despite being down a player. Turkey converted a quickly-taken free kick from just outside the box to regain the lead. In stoppage time, another Turkish free kick from outside the box made the final score 3-1.
