Paraguay Seeks to Upset Germany

Paraguay seeks to upset Germany in the World Cup. Ecuador's win over Germany gives Paraguay hope that they can surprise the Germans.

What happened in the Ecuador vs Germany match?

Ecuador came out in the second half to kill or die and risk everything, because everything was at stake in the World Cup. They managed most of the second half with Caicedo and Vite, plus two very spicy wingers like Plata and Angulo.

Why is it important for Paraguay?

Paraguay seeks to wait in the middle or low zone, with a lot of order and defensive discipline, something that has been totally recovered. Unlike the last match against Australia, the Europeans will leave spaces and it's the ideal context for Alfaro's idea to be executed as it happened in the South American qualifier.

What's next?

It won't be easy, but Paraguay is capable of reducing everything to their collective destructive game and ability to hurt with Enciso, Mauricio, and Almirón inspired for offensive transitions. Paraguay seeks to shake up the World Cup with a blow to the four-time world champion.

Paraguay comes from a streak of 2 consecutive wins, with a record of 2W-0D-3L in their last 5 games.
