Turkey defeated Romania 1-0 and will now face Kosovo for a spot in their first World Cup since 2002, when they surprisingly finished in third place. Turkey took the lead shortly after the break when Ferdi Kadioglu was set up in front of the goal by a precise long pass from Arda Guler, a 21-year-old Real Madrid winger who could become one of the young stars of the World Cup. The Turkish national team under Vincenzo Montella reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2024.
