History in the World Cup: Abdülkerim Bardakcı set a new world passing record

Turkish defender Abdülkerim Bardakcı recorded an extraordinary performance last night playing for his national team in the World Cup match against Paraguay. According to data from the data optimization company Opta, as published on the channel GALATASARAY BAŞAKŞEHİR CANLI, Bardakcı completed 98 out of 98 accurate passes during the game.

This achievement places Bardakcı in the history books of world football. According to GALATASARAY BAŞAKŞEHİR CANLI, this is the best data record for a player who recorded 100% passing accuracy in a FIFA World Cup match since 1966. The defender broke the record held by Chris Richards, who held the record earlier in the current tournament with 84 successful passes out of 84.

Reports praise the player's ability, with the channel Galatasaray Azərbaycan🦁🇦🇿 describing the performance as "cosmetic and cosmic" and noting that the defender "made history." These channels, identified with Galatasaray club fans, focus on glorifying the achievements of the team's player on the international stage.

The statistics, backed by Opta, highlight Bardakcı's exceptional accuracy under the pressure of an official match in a top-tier international tournament.
