Türkiye exits World Cup after Paraguay defeat
Türkiye has been eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup after losing 1-0 to Paraguay in its second Group D match.
Matías Galarza scored the only goal after just 64 seconds at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium in Santa Clara, giving Paraguay an early lead that it protected until the final whistle.
The defeat left Türkiye without a point after two matches, following its opening loss to Australia.
Paraguay played the entire second half with 10 men after Miguel Almirón was shown a straight red card in first-half stoppage time.
