At VfB Stuttgart, Atakan Karazor is the captain, but he had not yet made a breakthrough in the national team. That has now changed. Because yesterday, Saturday, he made his debut for the Turkish national team.

In the 81st minute, the moment came: Karazor was substituted in for Kaan Ayhan with the score at 1-0.

Shortly after, he was able to celebrate the 2-0 with the team when Bulgaria's Atanas Chernev scored an own goal.

This solidified the Turkish national team's second place in Group E behind leaders Spain.

On Tuesday, the two teams will face each other directly, but since Spain has a goal difference of plus 14 over Turkey, it is likely that Karazor and the Turkish national team will head to the World Cup qualifying playoffs.
