Spain target last-16 berth against Arda Turan's Turkey

Spain's second Euro 2016 clash takes place on Friday evening against a Turkey team led by FC Barcelona star Arda Turan.

After getting the better of a resilient Czech Republic side in the opening game, thanks to a Gerard Pique header in the 87th minute, Vicente del Bosque's troops come into the second fixture with a golden chance to seal their spot in the last 16 and take the pressure off the final group match.

Despite having to wait until the dying embers of the match to clinch victory on Monday, Spain's performance against the Czechs received plenty of plaudits. Andres Iniesta, in particular, has been praised to the heavens for his footballing masterclass that the world couldn't help but admire. La Roja are confident of producing another impressive display in order to beat Turkey and boost their bid for a third consecutive European Championship.

Fatih Terim's team come into the game knowing that nothing but a victory will do. Their tournament opener did not go as planned, with Croatia running out 1-0 winners thanks to a stunning strike by another LaLiga star, Luka Modric, whose rasping long-range volley proved to be the winner.

"Turkey are a great side with talented players who will make it tough for us. They're a brave and adventurous team," stated Vicente del Bosque in his pre-match press conference. The statistics do make pleasant reading for Spain, however, with Turkey last tasting victory in this fixture back on 14 March 1954 (1-0).
