Australia Stun Turkey 2-0 in Group D Upset

Australia caused one of the early surprises of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, defeating Turkey 2-0 in Group D, according to beIN Sports. The result announced the Socceroos as genuine contenders to progress from their group.

The standout moment of the match came from young forward Nestory Irankunda, who scored a fine goal to put Australia in front. The Socceroos held firm from there, eventually doubling their advantage and seeing out the win.

Turkey, one of the more fancied sides in the group, will need to regroup quickly if they are to recover from this early setback.
