So who turns it over?

Here is something that is bugging me, as different commentators seem to differ:

Lets say Team A have possesion and the player goes down, and the world and its mother jumps in on top of him.
Team B manage to get possesion of the ball.

Did Team A Turn over the ball to Team B,
or
Did Team B Turn Over the ball from Team A?

Turnovers are conceded to the opposition.

Okay, in my mind it would make more sense the other way, but anyway, cheers.

terms are interchangeable in my opinion.

The statistics in the match would most likely say

e.g. NZ turnovers 24
Romania turnovers 2

Would mean a turnover is when the other team turn over possesion.

so team b would turnover the ball in that case would they not??
