Turkey hang on for draw in Belgium

Belgium maintained their one-point cushion over Turkey but wasted a great chance when Axel Witsel missed a penalty with 15 minutes left.

Turkey, coached by Chelsea target Guus Hiddink, have a game in hand on the Belgians in the chase for a play-off spot. Germany lead the way with 18 points from six matches.

Hiddink described it as "a very good result."

"We can be satisfied with a draw," the Dutchman told reporters. "We started very sloppily... it was a stupid foul (by Arda Turan) to give away the penalty and we were lucky they missed it.

"I don't think the team would have had the power to overcome it," added Hiddink before deflecting away a series of questions about his future.

"It doesn't change a lot," said Leekens. "There's no disappointment... except for the result."

He also refused to criticise Witsel for his penalty miss. "I don't blame anyone who takes the responsibility... we should have put in the other chances but it was a turning point."
