Kaan Ayhan's strike came in the 97th minute and 50 seconds of Turkey's Group D finale against USA on 25 June. The goal sealed a 3-2 victory but Turkey finished last in the group with three points, failing to advance to the knockout stage.
According to Opta data, Ayhan's goal is the second-latest match-winning goal in World Cup history (records dating to 1966), with only Iran's Rozbeh Cheshmi holding the record at 97 minutes and 56 seconds in 2022 against Wales.
The late finish underscored Turkey's inability to escape their group despite the comeback victory, leaving them with one win, one draw, and one loss across three matches.
