Deniz Gül scores in Turkey's win over North Macedonia | OneFootball

Still unsure whether he will make Turkey’s final squad for the 2026 World Cup, Deniz Gül took an important step in that battle this Monday by scoring one of the goals in Turkey’s 4-0 win over North Macedonia, in the first of two warm-up matches ahead of the World Cup, which kicks off this month.

Starting for the side coached by Vincenzo Montella, the FC Porto forward scored Turkey’s third goal in the 53rd minute, after Orkun Kökçü (2’) and Can Yilmaz Uzun (16’) had already found the net. The result was sealed in the 70th minute by Baris Alper Yilmaz, at a stage when Gül had already been substituted and Demir Tiknaz (Sp. Braga) had come on in the 62nd minute.

Turkey play again on Saturday against Venezuela, in their final test before the 2026 World Cup, a competition in which they are in Group D alongside Australia, Paraguay and the United States.
