The Paraguay national football team achieved an important 1-0 victory over Turkey in the 2026 North America World Cup, but coach Gustavo Alfaro was not satisfied with FIFA's new rules. Alfaro criticized the expulsion of Miguel Almirón under the 'Vinícius Law' and considered the sanction to be lacking in common sense. The Argentine coach also referred to the five-second rule for throw-ins and the punishment for receiving medical attention on the field, considering that these rules are causing football to 'lose its essence'. The victory of the Paraguay national football team keeps them alive in Group D of the 2026 World Cup. The team played with ten men for almost the entire second half after Almirón's expulsion, but managed to hold on to the early goal scored by Matías Galarza in the 2nd minute. Alfaro described the process as 'a permanent emotional rollercoaster' and surrendered to the character of a squad that played with ten men to maintain the lead. The Paraguay national football team's coach also revealed that this frustration is not a fortuitous anger attack due to the refereeing, but a collective concern that they had already formally expressed to FIFA's top management during the coaches' meeting after the World Cup draw. The sanction against Almirón was not the only controversy in the match, as referee Iván Barton also awarded a punishment for receiving medical attention on the field that generated Alfaro's frustration. The Paraguay national football team remains alive in the 2026 World Cup and is seeking to advance in the competition.
