Turkey have ended their 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying Group 5 on third place after beating last-placed Armenia 2-0 in their final match in Bursa Atatürk Stadium. Halil Altıntop opened the scoring after 16 minutes and Servet Çetin doubled the hosts' advantage on 28 minutes. Ceyhun Gülselam's 33rd-minute dismissal for a second bookable offence was a hope for Armenia but they could find no way back.

Turkey coach Fatih Terim has officially stepped down as coach following his announcement in the end of qualifying match against Belgium
