Paraguay eliminated Germany 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the 2026 World Cup Round of 32. Julio Enciso gave Paraguay the lead before Kai Havertz equalised with a header, but Orlando Gill’s shootout heroics and José Canale’s decisive conversion proved decisive. The result sends the third-place Group D qualifiers to face the winner of France vs Sweden, while Germany’s perfect group record meant nothing in the single-elimination knockout.
