Deutschland – Paraguay Highlights FIFA WM 2026 | Sportschau

Germany will face Paraguay in the Round of 32 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The German team struggled from the outset. Just two minutes in, Neuer had to make a crucial save at the far post against Junior Alonso (2'). Shortly before halftime, the underdogs from South America took the lead: After a cleared corner, Florian Wirtz failed to reach the ball. Miguel Almiron pounced on the loose ball and found Matias Galarza. Galarza crossed to Julio Enciso, who headed it into the net (42'). Felix Nmecha and Joshua Kimmich (45+2/45+3) had two chances before the break but failed to add to Germany's tally. After the restart, Paraguay even had an opportunity to make it 2-0. Enciso intercepted the ball and surged into the penalty area. From a tight angle, the South American's shot was saved by Manuel Neuer (50th minute). Four minutes later, Kai Havertz finally equalized for Germany (54th minute). Florian Wirtz crossed the ball to the German striker, who let it slide over his head and fired it into the far corner (54th minute). In the 78th minute, it was Havertz again who created danger with a header. Once more, a Wirtz cross found the Arsenal player's head, but this time goalkeeper Orlando Gill was alert to the danger. In the 86th minute, Germany had another chance with a header, but they failed to capitalize. Substitute Leon Goretzka headed the ball straight at Waldemar Anton, who was offside. The score remained 1-1 after stoppage time. This led to the first extra time of the 2026 World Cup. Shortly before the end of the first half of extra time, Germany celebrated once again. Jonathan Tah scored after a corner from Nathaniel Brown (102nd minute). However, after a VAR review, the goal was disallowed because Waldemar Anton had fouled goalkeeper Gill in the build-up. In the second half of extra time, Germany had further good chances to score the winning goal, but neither Kimmich nor Anton could find the net (119th minute). The match went to penalties, which Paraguay won 4-3: final score 4-5 on penalties. Paraguay thus advances to the World Cup round of 16. Germany is eliminated. ➡️More highlights and all matches of the FIFA World Cup 2026 can be found here: https://1.ard.de/FIFA-WM-2026_Highlig... ➡️Highlights of the FIFA World Cup 2026 in short form: https://1.ard.de/FIFA-WM-2026_Shorts?... #WorldCup2026 #FIFAWorldCup #Football #Highlights #GERPAR #DFBTeam
