🤯 How many shots without a goal?! Turkey's exit is just bonkers

With incredible euphoria, Turkey had been eagerly awaiting its first World Cup appearance in 24 years. But the dream of North America turned into a nightmare at record speed.

What’s more: after just two group-stage matches, coach Vincenzo Montella’s team has already been eliminated! The 1–0 defeat to Paraguay sealed fourth and last place in Group C.

And it wasn’t for lack of chances. Against Australia, Turkey had 72 percent possession, and against Paraguay it was even 78 percent. In total, Arda Güler, Kenan Yildiz and Co. fired no fewer than 62 shots at the opposition goal.

Even so, the heavily favored side somehow managed not to score a single goal over 180 minutes. Not even a long spell with a man advantage against Paraguay changed that.
