PHANTOM STAT

Türkiye dominated Georgia 4-1 in a World Cup qualifier, demonstrating clinical finishing despite modest underlying metrics. The hosts operated in a 4-2-3-1 formation and converted their chances ruthlessly, scoring four goals from just 6 shots on target and 1.24 expected goals—a significant overperformance that reflected their efficiency in the final third. Georgia, deployed in a 4-3-3 setup, created more volume with 12 shots but managed only 3 on target and 0.85 xG, highlighting their inability to translate possession into quality opportunities. The visitors' goalkeeper made 2 saves from 3 on-target efforts, posting a 66.67 per cent save percentage, though this proved insufficient to contain Türkiye's potency. Kenan Yıldız registered among the goalscorers as Türkiye secured a commanding victory that significantly strengthens their qualifying campaign. The result underscores Türkiye's superior conversion rate and clinical approach to European qualification football.
