Watch as Turkey fan SHOOTS his TV after Yilmaz misses crucial penalty against Portugal in World Cup qualifier play-off

A Turkish football fan SHOT is own TV after watching Burak Yilmaz miss a crucial penalty in the country's World Cup play-off against Portugal.

After going 2-0 down through goals from Otavio and Diogo Jota, Yilmaz pulled one back for Turkey in the 65th minute of their semi-final tie.



Then with five minutes remaining the visitors were awarded a penalty when Portuguese defender Jose Fonte brought down Enes Unal.

But Yilmaz stepped up and blazed the spot kick over the bar as Turkey's hopes of reaching a first World Cup in 20 years disappeared.

Portugal went on to win the game 3-1 thanks to a stoppage time sealer from Matheus Nunes.

And in the aftermath of Turkey's defeat a video emerged on social media showing a furious fan SHOOTING his TV immediately after Yilmaz's penalty miss.

The individual was seen pointing his gun at the TV while the penalty was being taken.

And he fired straight after Yilmaz missed, with the TV exploding into a ball of fire as the angry Turkish supporters were left to ponder what happened in the last five minutes of the match.

Portugal will now face North Macedonia in the play-off final after they stunned European champions Italy with a stoppage time winner.

Meanwhile, Yilmaz announced his retirement from international football after the heartbreaking penalty miss.

He said: “I don’t know how I didn’t score, I'm still in shock. We upset our country. I'm sorry. I'm very sorry. This was my last World Cup chance. As of today, this is over.

“I said to myself it was a definite goal when we got the penalty. I started thinking about the future. I am disappointed because I never thought about missing it. I'm sorry.

"I'm going to score this penalty every night of my life, maybe without sleep, in my dreams.

“I wouldn't want to quit after a game like this, but I don't think it's right to continue. Thank you to my coaches.

"My decision to quit is not emotional. I make this decision logically. If extreme, unbelievable situations occur, then I will help.

“Our country needs to pass the flag on to our young friends. The new generation, the new structure. This is the right thing.

"My decision is not a result of disappointment, nor is it about a penalty. I think our brothers will do what is necessary from now on."
