What happened in the match?

Paraguay plays with all possible tactics. Didier Deschamps defined Paraguay in an elegant way, highlighting the aggression and the compactness of the team. The match had excessive friction on the part of Alfaro's team, which despite playing on the limit of the regulations and igniting the emotions of the Gallic players, came out of the match with zero yellow cards in an incomprehensible way.

Why is it important for Paraguay?

Paraguay gave France a tough match. French striker Kylian Mbappé was bitten throughout the round of 16 match and scored the winning goal. Didier Deschamps gave value to the importance of the entire squad to bring forward a tricky match. It's a big step forward. It's always difficult against these South American teams, and I'm very happy that the group has achieved it.
