Match report

Julio Enciso headed Paraguay in front from Matias Galarza's cross, and although Kai Havertz flicked in Florian Wirtz's delivery to level soon after the break, a Paraguay side with just 25 per cent possession dug in through extra time. In the shootout goalkeeper Orlando Gill saved from Havertz and Nick Woltemade and Jonathan Tah blazed over, letting Jose Canale convert the winning kick and dump the four-time champions out in one of the great World Cup upsets.
