Julio Enciso gave Paraguay the lead before Kai Havertz equalised for Germany with a well-taken header. A Jonathan Tah goal was later ruled out, sending the contest to penalties. Paraguay goalkeeper Gill starred by saving two spot-kicks, while Manuel Neuer kept Germany alive with crucial saves during the shootout. However, Jose Canale calmly converted Paraguay’s decisive penalty to seal a famous victory.
The result ended Germany’s perfect World Cup penalty shootout record and sent Paraguay into the Round of 16 after one of the tournament’s most thrilling knockout encounters.
