Turkey 0-1 Paraguay Live Score, FIFA World Cup: Galarza's Rocket Hands La Albirroja Early Advantage Inside 64 Seconds

What a start from Paraguay! Just 64 seconds on the clock and Galarza has fired La Albirroja into the lead with a stunning strike. Turkey lose possession in midfield, Paraguay break forward instantly, and Galarza takes full advantage, drilling a low left-footed effort beyond Çakır and in off the post. The goalkeeper had no chance as the shot kissed the upright before nestling in the net. It's a magnificent finish and officially the fastest goal of the FIFA World Cup 2026 so far. Turkey's nightmare start leaves their qualification hopes hanging by a thread.

We're underway in Santa Clara, and the stakes could hardly be higher. Turkey know that anything less than a win could spell the end of their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign after their opening defeat to Australia. Paraguay are also under pressure following their heavy loss to the United States, though their qualification hopes would remain alive even with another setback.

Turkey (4-2-3-1): Cakir (GK); Demiral, Bardakci, Muldur, Kadioglu; Calhanoglu (c), Yuksek; Guler, Yildizm, Akgun; Akturkoglu.
