Turkey secured a commanding 2–0 victory over Bulgaria in World Cup qualifying on 15 November, dominating possession with 67 per cent and creating a clear attacking superiority. The hosts registered 19 shots with six on target, translating to an expected goals tally of 2.46, while Bulgaria managed only nine attempts and 0.31 xG from their deeper 4–5–1 setup. Hakan Calhanoglu opened the scoring for Turkey, who controlled the match through their 4–2–3–1 formation and relentless pressing. Bulgaria's goalkeeper faced six shots on target but could only convert a 66.67 per cent save rate, conceding 2.0 post-shot expected goals—a reflection of Turkey's clinical finishing. Turkey's own keeper was untroubled, saving both shots faced at 100 per cent. The result extends Turkey's qualifying campaign momentum in Group E.
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.
