First Published: Sep 03, 2000

Coach Send Gunes can rejoice that he managed to start his new job in Group D with an interesting victory.

The match was completely controlled by the Turkish side from the beginning to the end. Okan Buruk opened the scoring with a header after a free kick.

Young ace Emre Belozoglu was the best player on the pitch and he proved his value dribbling the Moldovan defence and shooting with his left foot a ball that meant the final score was 2-0.
