Line-up of the Netherlands–Kazakhstan teams prior to the match
The UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group A was one of the nine groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2016 finals tournament.[1] Group A consisted of six teams: Netherlands, Czech Republic, Turkey, Latvia, Iceland, and Kazakhstan,[2] where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.[3]
The top two teams, the Czech Republic and Iceland, qualified directly for the finals. Turkey's win over Iceland, combined with Kazakhstan's win over Latvia on the final day of matches, also allowed Turkey to qualify directly as the best ranked third-placed team of the qualifiers. As Turkey earned 6 points against Kazakhstan and 2 points against Latvia through their home and away fixtures, and as Kazakhstan's win over Latvia ensured that Latvia finished in last place in the group based on head-to-head record, not Kazakhstan, it then meant that only 2, not 6, of Turkey's total of 18 points earned would not count towards their third-placed ranking (as results against the team finishing in last place in the group were not included when ranking third-placed teams because one group had fewer teams than the others).[4][5][6][7][8]
