Turkey concluded its World Cup campaign with a thrilling victory over the United States, largely thanks to a stellar performance from Arda Güler. The Real Madrid midfielder was instrumental, scoring Turkey's opening goal and assisting two others, earning him the Man of the Match award. The match saw the Americans take an early lead through Trusty, but Güler quickly equalized. Yilmaz then put Turkey ahead before Berhalter leveled the score for the USA after the break. In a dramatic finish, Güler initiated the decisive play with a spectacular nutmeg on Pulisic, leading to Ayhan's winning goal in the 98th minute. This hard-fought win marked Turkey's first in the tournament's group stage.
