Paraguay eliminated Türkiye from the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a 1-0 victory despite playing more than half the match with ten men.

Matías Galarza scored the game’s only goal after just 64 seconds. The match also witnessed a historic incident when Miguel Almirón was sent off at the end of the first half for covering his mouth while speaking to a Türkiye player, marking the first dismissal of its kind in World Cup history.

The defeat ended Türkiye’s hopes of advancing after back-to-back losses.
