In a thrilling match in Inglewood, California, Turkey secured their only victory of the World Cup with a late goal from Kaan Ayhan to defeat the United States 3-2. The Americans, who had already clinched the top spot in Group D after wins against Paraguay and Australia, saw Auston Trusty and Sebastian Berhalter find the back of the net. Despite fielding mostly new starters, coach Mauricio Pochettino’s team will face Bosnia-Herzegovina in the Round of 32. Turkey, who had been eliminated prior to the match, displayed resilience with goals from Arda Güler and Orkun Kökçü. The decisive goal came in the eighth minute of stoppage time when Can Uzun set up Kaan Ayhan for the winning strike past goalkeeper Matt Turner. Christian Pulisic made a comeback from injury for the Americans during the game, entering in the second half after being sidelined since the tournament opener.
