Impact Yildiz produced Turkiye's best chance of the early second half, rifling a shot into the side netting from a tight angle just three minutes after the restart, and he kept the pressure on Paraguay's back line with additional efforts in the 48th and 62nd minutes during Friday's 1-0 defeat. The winger was a constant menace operating out of the left channel as Turkiye poured forward and pinned Paraguay deep for nearly the entire second half, but Orlando Gill and a resilient Paraguayan defense refused to break despite being down to 10 men since first-half stoppage time. Yildiz finished with six shots (one on target) and four crosses, though Turkiye's inability to convert their overwhelming territorial control into goals brought an official end to their World Cup run, a bitter finish for a squad many viewed as one of the tournament's most dangerous dark-horse contenders.
