Turkey is eliminated from the 2026 World Cup following a narrow 0-1 defeat to Paraguay, resulting in their exit after just two matches. Initially favored in Group D, Turkey's disappointing performance is highlighted by their failure to score across 62 shots taken in the tournament, despite an Expected Goals statistic of 3.5. The team's struggles were exemplified by Deniz Gül's critical late miss in the match. This early exit marks a significant setback for a squad expected to advance further in the competition.
