Arda Guler Gutted as Australia Stun Turkey in Group D
Turkey's Arda Guler looked devastated as Australia scored twice to claim a surprise Group D win in Vancouver.
Reuters captured the moment perfectly: Arda Guler, one of Turkey's brightest stars, visibly dejected as Australia's Connor Metcalfe scored to seal a 2-0 win for the Socceroos in their Group D opener in Vancouver.
The result is a significant upset and puts Australia in a strong early position in Group D, while Turkey must regroup quickly to stay in contention at this World Cup.
For Guler, it was a difficult introduction to the tournament's main stage, and all eyes will be on whether he can spark a Turkish response in their next group game.
