Turkey lost 1-0 to Paraguay and was eliminated from the 2026 World Cup. The two national teams met in the second round of Group D, and Paraguay took the lead as early as the second minute of the match. During the game – for the first time in World Cup history – a player was sent off for covering his mouth. This occurred during an altercation between Turkish and Paraguayan players, when Miguel Almirón approached Moldor while covering his mouth, and after a VAR review – received a straight red card.
