Paraguay secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Türkiye in a World Cup match on Friday, maintaining their chances of advancing in the tournament. The win also guarantees the progression of co-host nation, the USA, from Group D. Türkiye became the second team to be eliminated from World Cup contention following Haiti. Paraguay’s Matias Galarza scored the game’s only goal within the first minute, with a long-range shot that the Turkish goalkeeper could not save. The match was marked by a historic red card issued to Paraguay’s Miguel Almiron for covering his mouth during a heated exchange with an opposing player. Despite a late push from Türkiye, including a missed opportunity by Deniz Gul, Paraguay held on for the win. The Turkish team expressed visible disappointment at their elimination.
