The match, held in Istanbul, ended with a narrow score of 1:0 thanks to a goal from Ferdi Kadioglu, who scored in the 53rd minute.
Now the Turkish team will meet in the playoff final on March 31 with the winner of the match between Slovakia and Kosovo.
Thus, the Turkish national team became the first team to reach the final qualification for the World Cup.
The final tournament of the 23rd World Cup will take place from June 11 to July 19. For the first time in the history of the tournament, matches will be held in three countries — the USA, Canada, and Mexico, which are exempt from qualification. Additionally, this tournament will feature 48 teams, whereas previously their number did not exceed 32.
