Paraguay save World Cup hopes with win over eliminated Türkiye
Ten-man Paraguay beat Türkiye 1-0 at the World Cup, a result that kept their hopes alive and also guaranteed co-hosts the United States top spot in Group D.
Matias Galarza scored the only goal in a game that also featured the first dismissal under FIFA's new rule prohibiting players from covering their mouths during on-field confrontations, with Miguel Almiron shown a red card.
Galarza's low long-range strike beat Türkiye goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir after just 63 seconds.
Former Newcastle United forward Almiron was sent off in first-half stoppage time after covering his mouth while appearing to direct a comment at Türkiye defender Mert Muldur.
In a scrappy contest, Deniz Gul had a golden opportunity to equalise in the 88th minute when Paraguay goalkeeper Orlando Gill could only parry a shot, but the forward stabbed his effort wide.
Merih Demiral glanced a header wide in the closing moments and was left devastated at full-time as Türkiye's players slumped to the turf following their elimination.
