Turkey suffer shock elimination from World Cup after Paraguay defeat

In an emotionally-charged encounter in San Francisco, Turkey were sent packing from the World Cup having fallen to back-to-back defeats, losing 1-0 to steely Paraguay after also suffering at the hands of Australia.

As a result, Turkey, one of the pre-tournament dark horses, join Haiti through the exit door at the earliest possible juncture. They failed to score a single goal despite a combined 62 attempts - the most efforts without scoring in any two-match span in competition history.
