Australia shocked Türkiye with a 2-0 victory at BC Place in their World Cup Group D opener. Goals from N. Irankunda in the 27th minute and C. Metcalfe in the 75th proved decisive against a Turkish side that dominated possession at 72 percent. Despite being outshot 30-9, Australia's disciplined defending and clinical finishing secured the win. Patrick Beach earned player of the match honors with a 9.2 rating, anchoring a defense that recorded eight goalkeeper saves. Türkiye's one yellow card indicated frustration as their attacking dominance failed to translate to goals. The result leaves Australia on four points and alive in the race for the knockout stage. Türkiye, with three points, faces an uphill climb to avoid elimination from Group D.
