The report says Turkey had gone through its opening two group matches without scoring, despite registering 62 attempts. Its equaliser against the United States reportedly arrived with its 63rd effort, as Güler finished after receiving the ball from Yılmaz.
That breakthrough changed the rhythm of the contest. Güler then played a role in the move that produced Turkey’s second goal, with Yılmaz credited after a deflection on Orkun Kökçü’s effort.
For a side said to have finished bottom of Group D, the late attacking response at least provided a more positive final note.
The United States reportedly opened the scoring after only two minutes, with Auston Trusty converting from a corner. The goal exposed a recurring problem for Turkey, which also conceded its second goal after a long throw and a loose ball around the edge of the area.
The hosts had made 10 changes from the team that defeated Australia, with Weston McKennie the only player retained, according to the report. That rotation brought energy but appeared to affect defensive cohesion.
Christian Pulisic also entered after half-time and came close to restoring the American lead, while Uğurcan Çakır reportedly made several important interventions.
With the draw appearing likely, Güler escaped down the flank and sent the ball into a crowded penalty area. The report says the United States failed to clear, allowing Ayhan to complete the turnaround in the eighth minute of added time.
Turkey’s next challenge is to turn that late attacking spark into a consistent identity. For the United States, defending corners, long throws and second balls will remain an immediate storyline before the next competitive test.
