Ends World Cup without clean sheet
Cakir registered five saves and allowed two goals in Thursday's 3-2 win against USA.
Analysis: Cakir had a much busier night than in his previous two games with Turkey no longer the side dominating possession and play, but he rose to the challenge and made some very good saves to keep his side in it. The two goals that did go in were beyond his control. It still ends as a frustrating tournament for the goalkeeper though, bowing out at the group stage without a clean sheet and finishing with five goals conceded and eight saves across his three games.
Beaten early in defeat
Cakir recorded one save and allowed one goal in Friday's 1-0 loss against Paraguay.
Analysis: Cakir's night started in the worst possible way as Matias Galarza's long range effort beat him in just the second minute. After that however it was a quiet evening as Paraguay showed little ambition going forward and a handful of counter attacks produced just one save from him. Across two games in the tournament he has now conceded three goals and made three saves. Up next is the final game against the United States, and with Turkey eliminated, it remains to be seen whether coach Vincenzo Montella will give opportunities to players who haven't had much playing time, or aim to finish in the best way possible, with Altay Bayindir as possible replacement.
