A boy jumps onto the field during the match and Arda Güler does this: act of greatness

During the friendly match between Türkiye and Mexico, played in the United States, a striking scene took place that left the result in the background. A child ran onto the field looking for his idol, Arda Güler.

The Real Madrid footballer handled it naturally. Instead of feeling uncomfortable, he hugged the little boy and kissed him on the forehead, a gesture that was captured by the cameras and that he later shared on his Instagram account.

Security intervened quickly, but Güler's attitude should be applauded and was well received by the crowd.

A discreet match for Türkiye and for Güler

In sporting terms, the night was not especially positive for Türkiye, who lost 1-0 to Mexico. It was a flat match for the team led by Vincenzo Montella, who couldn't find the rhythm or the chances to come back from the Mexican goal.

Arda Güler played all 90 minutes, but he had a more discreet performance than usual. He lacked influence in the final third and couldn't make the difference as he usually does when he puts on his national team jersey.

Even so, his numbers show that he tried and wanted to be a protagonist with the ball. According to Sofascore, the player received a rating of 7.1. He completed 49 out of 55 passes (89% accuracy), with 73 total touches. He also delivered three key passes and completed 8 out of 10 long passes.

Although it wasn't his best night, the young Madridist kept his commitment and showed occasional technical details.

A gesture that goes beyond the result

Beyond his sporting performance, what's been most talked about is his behavior with the child who invaded the field. Without fuss or tension, Güler replied with warmth and respect.

In a context of defeat, that gesture gives him a very positive image. A different scene that showed the more personal side of a player who, at just 20 years old, shows maturity in situations that go beyond the match.

Türkiye is already thinking about their next match. Meanwhile, Güler continues to add minutes and experience, although with his sights set on arriving in the best possible shape for the Club World Cup.
