Ümit and Krzysti net trebles in thriller

Wednesday 26th March - Friendly

It truly was Krzysti World vs. The Ümit Kubilay Show as both FC London stars scored hat-tricks as Turkey and Wales drew 3-3 at Istanbul's Ataturk Stadium.

Karlo 'Krzysti' Krzystofski scored all of Wales' goals, while Ümit netted all of the Turkish strikes.

Both stars scored their first goal from top-drawer curling free-kicks that would make David Beckham proud.

Krzysti thumped the ball home to make it 2-1, but Ümit's stunning overhead kick levelled the scores once again.

Ümit then stole the ball from winger Christian Jones on the halfway line as he went mazy run past all the Welsh defenders and then slotted the ball past Kevin Jones for a contender for Goal of the Year, and a 3-2 lead for Turkey.

But Krzysti found the Turkish keeper off his line while inside his own half and scored an incredible long-range strike that would make Xabi Alonso proud.
