Turkey defeated Georgia 4–1 in a World Cup qualifier that exposed the visitors' defensive vulnerabilities despite controlling possession. Georgia dominated territory with 55 per cent possession and 12 shots, yet their goalkeeper faced six shots on target and managed only a 33 per cent save rate, conceding 4.0 post-shot expected goals. Turkey, operating in a 4–2–3–1 setup, were clinical in attack: Kenan Yildiz scored among their four goals from just six shots on target, with an xG of 1.24 suggesting clinical finishing. The hosts' goalkeeper saved 67 per cent of the three shots he faced, keeping Georgia to a single goal despite the visitors' numerical advantage in attempts. The scoreline reflected a gulf in conversion efficiency rather than dominance; Georgia's inability to capitalise on their chances proved decisive. Turkey's victory strengthens their qualifying position in UEFA Group E.
