Türkiye signed off their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign in dramatic fashion, scoring deep into stoppage time to secure a thrilling victory over tournament hosts USA. In a fiercely contested encounter where momentum constantly shifted, Vincenzo Montella's side had the final say with a decisive late winner.

The match was far more competitive than the final result might suggest. USA created the greater volume of opportunities, registering 18 shots compared to Türkiye's nine, while the Turkish goalkeeper was called into action on five occasions—four more saves than his American counterpart.

As the clock ticked into added time, Türkiye delivered the decisive blow to silence the home crowd and cap off an entertaining contest with a memorable victory.
