Australia 1, Türkiye 3, Türkiye wins World Cup group match

sportsJun 14, 202627378

Türkiye beat Australia 3-1 at BC Place, overturning a 1-0 deficit after Nestory Irankunda opened the scoring for Australia. Türkiye then struck three times in the closing stages to complete the comeback and clinch a decisive Group stage victory. The win improves Türkiye's position in the group and strengthens their chances of reaching the knockout rounds. Played in front of a packed BC Place, the match hands upcoming opponents more film to study and leaves Australia needing a response in their remaining group matches.

I am going to bed, gonna watch Türkiye-Australia in the morning, hopefully without knowing the result, as if the World Cup was happening in Europe. Sadly that means one of you needs to take up the mantle of any real-time Dennis Miller Gallipoli posting.

Türkiye with an xG per shot of 0.045. This is just really good low block defending from Australia.

I very much just shouted at the television. Australia has laid down a marker, and Türkiye has tripped at the first hurdle. Friday in Seattle was already set to be special. Now it’s going to be a thunderdome. #USMNT

People around me are all talking about waiting to see if prices for the Friday match come down at the last minute. I don’t think that’s going to happen now.

Australia 2-0 Turkiye The pace and tenacity of the Australian counterattack against the #USMNT's fluid defensive setup is going to make for a fun battle. The Americans looked great yesterday. Friday in Seattle for a pivotal game. Can't wait to be there.
