Despite registering 32 shots and playing against 10-man Paraguay for more than half the match, Turkey suffered a 1-0 defeat and crashed out of the FIFA World Cup with a game to spare.
The Turkish side finished their first two matches with an astonishing 62 attempts on goal, without scoring once, the most shots without a goal in any two-match World Cup span since records began in 1966.
Matias Galarza's stunning long-range strike after just one minute proved enough to keep Paraguay's hopes alive, while Turkey were left to rue a string of missed chances.
"Everybody's sad, everybody's crying," said Arda Güler after the match, as one of football's most exciting young squads saw their World Cup campaign come to a painful end.
