Türkiye's World Cup campaign suffered a devastating blow in Santa Clara as Paraguay claimed a shock 1-0 victory in Group D. Mateo Galarza's second-minute strike proved decisive, catching the Turkish defense off guard in the opening moments. Despite dominating possession at 79 percent and generating 32 shots, Türkiye could not find the back of the net, managing only five efforts on target. Paraguay's goalkeeper made five crucial saves to preserve the lead. Juan Cáceres earned player of the match honors for his defensive display. The result eliminates Türkiye from contention while Paraguay remains alive in the group. Türkiye must now regroup for their remaining fixtures, while Paraguay has seized an unexpected advantage in their World Cup bid.
