Paraguay claimed a crucial 1-0 win over Turkey in the second round of the 2026 World Cup group stage, with the match taking place in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Matias Galarza scored the decisive goal after roughly one minute, giving Paraguay a dream start before the South American side were forced to play with ten men following Miguel Almiron’s red card before halftime.
Turkey applied heavy pressure after the break, but Vincenzo Montella’s team failed to turn their chances into goals, leaving them with a painful defeat that ended their qualification hopes.
The result keeps Paraguay alive before the final group game, while Turkey are out of contention despite a determined late push.
