📹 Australia punish Turkey's profligacy: the highlights | OneFootball

Despite an incredible amount of possession and a clear edge in chances, Turkey lost 0–2 to Australia in their World Cup opener.

Here you can watch the highlights of the match: 

While Güler, the substitute Yildiz & Co. were among those left frustrated, often by their own finishing, the Socceroos focused very early on, after taking the lead, on uncompromising defending.

That worked until the final whistle, and instead of Turkey scoring their first goal in a World Cup comeback after 24 years, Australia even added a second.

By the way, this match was the last one before the German team’s World Cup opener. That finally kicks off later at 7 p.m.

We’re already really excited and hope you feel the same!
