Despite this loss, the USA proceeded as the winners of Group D and will compete against Bosnia-Herzegovina in the Round of 32.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Softfootball<\/em> reports that the USA began the match on a strong note, taking the lead in the third minute when Auston Trusty scored from a corner. In response, Turkey showcased improved attacking prowess as Arda G\u00fcler and Bar\u0131\u015f Alper Y\u0131lmaz transformed the match in their favor before the half-time whistle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the break, the Americans, who had already secured their spot in the knockout stage, quickly equalized. Sebastian Berhalter struck from the edge of the box to bring the game level. Christian Pulisic made a noteworthy return from an injury as a second-half substitute and nearly turned the tide further when his shot struck the post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkey, who had previously struggled despite creating numerous scoring chances in earlier matches, finally demonstrated their finishing capabilities. Substitute Kaan Ayhan emerged as the standout player, converting a late chance from a cross delivered by Can Uzun, culminating in a dramatic 3-2 victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The loss interrupted the USA&#8217;s previously flawless run after wins against Paraguay and Australia, yet Mauricio Pochettino can take reassurance from Pulisic&#8217;s comeback as the team heads into the knockout rounds. Turkey departed the tournament with a significant victory, regaining some honor.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_116486\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-116486\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.softfootball.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/HLtlvLUXkAASVLW.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" alt=\"USA lose against eliminated Turkiye- Photo credit: FIFA media\" class=\"wp-image-116486\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-116486\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">USA lose against eliminated Turkiye- Photo credit: FIFA media<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>USA<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Player<\/th>\n<th>Rating<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Matt Turner<\/td>\n<td>5.7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mark McKenzie<\/td>\n<td>5.8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Miles Robinson<\/td>\n<td>6.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Auston Trusty<\/td>\n<td>7.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Joe Scally<\/td>\n<td>6.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Weston McKennie<\/td>\n<td>7.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sebastian Berhalter<\/td>\n<td>9.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Brenden Aaronson<\/td>\n<td>6.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Giovanni Reyna<\/td>\n<td>6.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Timothy Weah<\/td>\n<td>5.3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ricardo Pepi<\/td>\n<td>5.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Turkey <\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Player<\/th>\n<th>Rating<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>U\u011furcan \u00c7ak\u0131r<\/td>\n<td>7.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eren Elmal\u0131<\/td>\n<td>7.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Abd\u00fclkerim Bardakc\u0131<\/td>\n<td>7.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ozan Kabak<\/td>\n<td>7.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Zeki \u00c7elik<\/td>\n<td>7.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Orkun K\u00f6k\u00e7\u00fc<\/td>\n<td>7.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Salih \u00d6zcan<\/td>\n<td>7.3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Kenan Y\u0131ld\u0131z<\/td>\n<td>6.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Arda G\u00fcler<\/td>\n<td>8.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>O\u011fuz Ayd\u0131n<\/td>\n<td>8.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bar\u0131\u015f Alper Y\u0131lmaz<\/td>\n<td>8.3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Statistic<\/th>\n<th>Turkey<\/th>\n<th>USA<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Possession<\/td>\n<td>47%<\/td>\n<td>53%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dangerous Attack<\/td>\n<td>37%<\/td>\n<td>45%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Attack<\/td>\n<td>28%<\/td>\n<td>17%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ball Safe<\/td>\n<td>35%<\/td>\n<td>38%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Goal Attempts<\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>12<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Shots on Target<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Shots off Target<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Corner Kicks<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Goal Kicks<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Saves<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Yellow Cards<\/td>\n<td>0<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Red Cards<\/td>\n<td>0<\/td>\n<td>0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Free Kicks<\/td>\n<td>13<\/td>\n<td>14<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Offsides<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Throw-ins<\/td>\n<td>27<\/td>\n<td>31<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Substitutions<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fouls<\/td>\n<td>14<\/td>\n<td>13<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Injuries<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Goals<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wedod-3576284981\" class=\"wedod-after-content wedod-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1458300956780583\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1458300956780583\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
