Türkiye vs United States

Turkey delivered a stunning 3-2 defeat to the United States in their 2026 World Cup Group D finale, with Kaan Ayhan's 98th-minute strike capping one of the tournament's most dramatic comebacks at Los Angeles Stadium. The USA led inside three minutes through Auston Trusty's corner-kick finish, but Arda Güler pulled Turkey level on 10 minutes before Orkun Kökçü edged them ahead on 31. Sebastian Berhalter drew the Americans level again with a powerful long-range effort on 48 minutes. The game looked destined for a draw until Güler nutmegged his way through the defence and set up Ayhan to prod home eight minutes into stoppage time. No red cards, no penalties, just relentless drama. The result had no impact on the standings: the USA had already secured top spot in Group D, rotating heavily under coach Mauricio Pochettino. Turkey, already eliminated, signed off their World Cup with a defiant win that showed exactly what this squad is capable of.
