Turkey’s elimination was ultimately defined by a remarkable lack of finishing. Across defeats to Australia and Paraguay, they attempted 62 shots without scoring a single goal. According to Opta, that is the highest number of attempts without finding the net across any two-match span in World Cup history dating back to 1966.
For Paraguay, the victory kept their hopes of reaching the last 32 alive despite having suffered a heavy defeat to the United States in their opening match.
