It’s the fiasco of the year!
A thunderbolt at the World Cup: Turkey has been eliminated from the World Cup after a dismal defeat to Paraguay (0-1).
Caught cold by a goal from Matias Galarza after 64 seconds of play, the Turks produced a complete non-performance throughout the first 45 minutes.
And yet, the match seemed to have been revived after Miguel Almiron was sent off just before halftime with the first application of the “Prestianni” rule.
But despite having the numerical advantage for the entire second half, Turkey kept making mistakes in front of goal, even wasting several huge chances.
Unable to find a breakthrough, the Turks therefore become the second team to be eliminated from the World Cup after Haiti. Meanwhile, Paraguay is back in the race and will play for qualification to the round of 16 in what looks like the Group D decider against Australia.
