Despite the loss, Mauricio Pochettino's USA team had already secured their progression to the last-32 knockout stage, where they will face Bosnia and Herzegovina. Star player Christian Pulisic returned to action after a 13-day absence due to a calf injury, playing over 30 minutes and showing promising form ahead of the knockout rounds. The match saw Auston Trusty score an early goal for the USA, but Turkey responded with goals from Arda Guler and Orkun Kokcu before Sebastian Berhalter equalised for the Americans. Turkey's late victory, sealed by Ayhan's goal following a nutmeg by Guler on Pulisic, provided a consolation win for them despite their overall underachievement in the tournament.
