Turkey Beats Senegal by 1-0

Second half substitute Ilhan Mansiz scored a golden goal in the 94th minute, guiding Turkey to beat Senegal 1-0 and advance into the World Cup semifinals for the first time on Saturday.

Umit Davala broke down the right flank to send a pinpoint pass to surging Mansiz, who fired the shot over motionless Turkey goalkeeper Rustu Recber.

Senegal and Turkey tied 0-0 after 90 minutes as both teams missed a hatful of clear chances.

Turkey forward Hakan Sukur wasted at least three golden opportunities, including the one at the 27th minute when he failed to control a pass from Hasan Sas with the goal gaping.

Two minutes before the break, Senegal's Omar Daf had to make a desperate clearance off the line from Yildiray Basturk.

Senegal striker El Hadji Diouf had a "goal" ruled out for off-side after 19 minutes and Khalilou Fadiga hit the side-netting four minutes later.

At the 69th minute, Mansiz lobbed the ball onto the top of the net at his fist touch since he substituted Sukur.
