Republic of Ireland lose friendly in Turkey

The Republic of Ireland have lost 1-0 to Turkey in a friendly in Antalya.

Mehmet Topal's sweetly-struck volley condemned a new-look Republic of Ireland side to friendly defeat in Turkey.

O'Neill handed senior debuts to Declan Rice, Scott Hogan and substitute Matt Doherty and first starts to Alan Browne and Sean Maguire in Antalya, but it was Fenerbahce midfielder Topal who ultimately won the day with a 52nd-minute strike to clinch a 1-0 win.
