Türkiye won the 2022 Amputee Football World Cup yesterday (October 9), beating reigning champions Angola 4-1 in the final in İstanbul.

The hosts put in a dominant second-half display to lift their first World Cup title, after the first period ended 1-1 with goals by Ömer Güleryuz and Angola's Adao.

Rahmi Özcan scored from the penalty spot to put Türkiye ahead and then netted the third to put them firmly in control.

Serkan Dereli added the finishing touch as Türkiye exacted revenge for the penalty shootout defeat to Angola in the 2018 final.

Earlier in the day, Uzbekistan won 4-2 against Haiti in the third-place game. (HA/VK)
