Turkey warmed up for their Euro 2020 qualifier with world champions France by dismissing Uzbekistan 2-0 in a friendly in Antalya on Sunday.
A double from Lille defender Zeki Çelik either side of half-time earned victory for Turkey, which hosts France on June 8 in a Group H table-topping clash. Both sides have six points from two qualifying games so far.
The victory was the fourth in a row for new national team coach Şenol Güneş.
France later hosts Bolivia in a friendly without captain Hugo Lloris and Moussa Sissoko, who played for Tottenham Hotspur in Saturday's Champions League defeat to Liverpool.
Elsewhere Luxembourg fought back with two late goals to claim a 3-3 draw at home to Madagascar and Malaysia beat Nepal 2-0.
