FIFA WC: Turkiye Edgde Co-hosts USA In Thriller To Bow Out In Style
FIFA World Cup: Already-eliminated Turkiye ended a disappointing FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign on a high by edging out Group D winners and co-hosts USA 3-2 here at Los Angeles Stadium on Friday.
With top spot already assured, Mauricio Pochettino shuffled his US pack, making no fewer than nine changes to the team that sealed qualification by beating Australia. For Turkiye, it's a positive end to a disappointing campaign as they at least go home with a victory in their bag.
Auston Trusty opened the scoring early with his first goal. After Turkiye scored twice later in the first half, Sebastian Berhalter responded with a banger just minutes into the second half. The Crescent-Stars found the winner on the last touch of the game deep into second-half stoppage time.
