Matías Galarza opened the scoring after just 64 seconds, scoring the fastest goal of the current tournament. His teammate Miguel Almirón was then sent off at the end of the first half for covering his mouth while speaking to a Turkish player, marking the first dismissal of its kind in World Cup history.

The result confirmed Turkey’s elimination following their opening 0-2 defeat to Australia. Meanwhile, the United States secured the top spot in Group D and a place in San Francisco after two wins, 4-1 against Paraguay and 2-0 against Australia.
