The Paraguay national football team survived a controversial red card to Miguel Almirón to beat Turkey 1-0 in the World Cup. The Guarani team held firm in defense and achieved their first win in the tournament. Almirón's expulsion occurred in the 45th minute after the player covered his mouth while speaking to an opponent. Referee Iván Barton did not hesitate to show the direct red card. Despite being a man down, Paraguay managed to maintain the result thanks to a great performance from their goalkeeper Orlando Gill. The winning goal was scored by Galarza in the 1st minute. With this result, Paraguay earns its first three points in the tournament and keeps its hopes of qualifying for the next round alive. On the other hand, Turkey confirms its elimination with zero points and a goal difference of -3. The Turkish team could not find its rhythm in the match and bid farewell to the tournament with great disappointment. Paraguay's victory is a huge relief for the team and its coach Gustavo Alfaro, who had defined his team as a 'hunter of impossible utopias'. In the next match, Paraguay will face Australia in a crucial game for their qualification.
