Canada U20 W vs Turkey U20 W

The match was effectively decided inside the first 10 minutes. Turkey opened with a 7–2 run, shooting with perfect accuracy on their first six attempts. Canada never recovered, and their timeout at 9:11 of the first half (trailing 12–3) did little to stem the flow. By the break the deficit was 14 goals.

Hande Muhcu (#71) — 7 goals from 10 shots (70%), Turkey's top scorer on the day. She scored from centre back and breakthrough positions, drawing defensive attention that freed teammates on the wings.

Azra Öztürk (#38) — A perfect 6/6 from the field, including three first-half goals from centre back. Missed none of her attempts.

Gazel Dikme (#41) — 6/9 shooting with a team-high 5 assists. Created chances for others while scoring efficiently herself.

Buket Seven (#23) — 5/5 shooting, all five goals coming in the flow of Turkey's fastbreak and breakthrough attacks.

For Canada, Katarina Vrdoljak and Petra-Sinziana Botarel each scored 4 from 6 shots (67%), the only Canadians to shoot above 50%.

Turkey's 72% shooting efficiency (38/53) dwarfed Canada's 36% (18/50) — a gap that explains the 20-goal margin better than any single sequence. Turkey also dominated in nearly every shot category: 12 goals from nine metres to Canada's six, 17 near-range goals to nine, and six fastbreak goals to three. Turkey converted 3/4 seven-metre penalties; Canada did not attempt one.

Canada turned the ball over 20 times — many forced by Turkey's active defence — while Turkey committed 11 turnovers.

Turkey (1–1, 2 points in President's Cup Group II) remain alive for a top-two finish that would send them into the 17th–20th placement matches. Canada (0–2, 0 points) are bottom of the group and will play in the 29th–32nd placement round regardless of their final group match.

Both teams play their final group-stage matches on 2 July. Canada face Brazil, while Turkey meet Argentina in what could decide second place in the group.

Turkey were in a different class from the opening whistle. Their shooting efficiency (72%) was the highest of any team on Tuesday's slate, and the 20-goal margin accurately reflected the gulf between the two sides. Canada return to the Junior World Championship after a long absence but have struggled throughout the tournament, losing all four matches by an average of 26.5 goals.
