Turkiye beat US 3-2 with last-gasp winner

Turkiye beat US 3-2 with last-gasp winner reports a dramatic World Cup dead-rubber in Los Angeles, where Türkiye defeated a heavily rotated United States 3-2 thanks to a late Kaan Ayhan goal. Both teams arrived with altered lineups at SoFi Stadium: the US, already Group D winners, aimed for a third straight win ahead of the last-32 match against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Wednesday. Türkiye entered having been eliminated and without even a goal after earlier defeats to Paraguay and Australia, seeking to restore pride. The US took the lead inside three minutes through Auston Trusty, then Türkiye equalized in the 10th minute with Arda Guler after Baris Alper Yilmaz’s run and cross. The US briefly regained the lead after McKenzie’s effort was ruled offside, and after halftime they drew level again via Berhalter’s finish. Türkiye ultimately won 3-2 with Ayhan’s late winner, while Brad Pitt and Edward Norton were among the Hollywood crowd.
