Turkiye claimed a 3-2 victory over Georgia in World Cup qualifying on 4 September, overcoming a significant possession disadvantage through clinical finishing. Georgia dominated territorially with 15 shots to Turkiye's six, yet their xG of 1.09 reflected their inability to create high-quality chances, while Turkiye's 0.7 xG belied their ruthless conversion of limited opportunities. Playing in a 4-4-2 formation, Georgia pressed aggressively but their goalkeeper managed only a 50 per cent save rate, conceding 2.0 post-shot expected goals. Turkiye's 4-2-3-1 setup proved defensively resilient, with all three of their shots on target finding the net. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored for the hosts, but it proved insufficient as Turkiye's efficiency sealed the points. Davide Massa oversaw proceedings without notable controversy. The result strengthens Turkiye's qualifying credentials significantly.

Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
