Turkey has advanced to the grand final of the 2026 World Cup C play-offs.
The Turkish national team secured a hard-fought but important home victory against Romania, guaranteeing their progression to the next stage.
Vincenzo Montella’s side won 1-0 against the Romanians, with the only goal coming in the second half of the match.
The first half ended 0-0, with few clear scoring opportunities.
The start of the second half was similar until the 53rd minute, when Ferdi Kadioglu scored to make it 1-0.
The left-back finished off a brilliant assist from Arda Guler.
With this victory, Turkey becomes the first team to secure a spot in the play-off final from Path C, the same path that includes Kosovo.
