Al Jazeera · 2d ago

Already-eliminated Türkiye closed out its World Cup campaign with a dramatic 3-2 win over a USA side that had already wrapped up the Group D title. Kaan Ayhan's 98th-minute strike completed the comeback after USA raced ahead through Auston Trusty and Sebastian Berhalter, with Player of the Match Arda Güler pulling Türkiye level before halftime. The loss was ultimately a dead-rubber result for the Americans, who had rotated nine starters after already clinching first place in the group.
