Turkey defeated Venezuela 2–1 in an International Friendly on 7 June 2026, dominating proceedings through superior shot volume and accuracy. The visitors registered 16 shots with 8 on target, compared to Venezuela's 9 attempts and just 2 on target, reflecting Turkey's control of the encounter. Turkey's goalkeeper maintained a 75 per cent save percentage while conceding 2.0 post-shot expected goals, suggesting Venezuela's limited opportunities were well-taken relative to their xG profile. Both sides deployed 4–2–3–1 formations, though Turkey's attacking intent proved decisive; the home side's narrow formation offered little defensive width against Turkey's width-based approach. Despite the friendly nature of the fixture, Turkey's clinical finishing and sustained pressure proved the difference, with the visitors' eight shots on target providing multiple routes to victory. Turkey's attacking efficiency in friendly competition suggests strong momentum heading into competitive fixtures.

Goalkeeper Performance
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.
