PENALTIES 

54´GOAL FOR GERMANY! KAI HAVERTZ EQUALIZES! Florian Wirtz delivers a pinpoint cross that finds the Arsenal forward, who rises above the rest, beats Canale to the spot, and sends a lethal header into the net. The match is all square, and it’s back to square one!

GOAL FOR THE ALBIRROJA! Right before the end of the first half, Paraguay pulls off a stunner! After a moment of genius from Almirón that left his defender in the dust, Galarza delivered a precise cross for Enciso, who was left completely unmarked to bury the ball into the net as Neuer looked on in disbelief. Paraguay is up!

Germany has displayed flashes of brilliant football throughout the group stage. Under Julian Nagelsmann, the team stands out for its possession, the fluidity of its attackers, and its ability to dictate the pace of matches. However, they have also shown some defensive vulnerabilities that Paraguay will be looking to exploit.

Paraguay, for their part, arrives brimming with confidence. The South American side has built its success on a disciplined defense, physical intensity, and rapid attacking transitions. The Albirroja knows how to compete in tight matches and will look to turn the game into a gritty, physical battle.

The World Cup is entering its decisive phase, and the clash between Germany and Paraguay promises to be one of the most balanced matches of the Round of 32. The German team arrives with the weight of its history and the status of favorite, while Paraguay has become one of the most solid and competitive teams in the tournament.
