Paraguay upsets Germany on penalty kicks at World Cup after a 1-1 draw through extra time
- On Monday, June 29, 2026, Paraguay stunned four-time world champions Germany 4-3 in a penalty shootout at Boston Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, after the teams finished 1-1 through 120 minutes.
- Julio Enciso headed Paraguay into a 42nd-minute lead, but Kai Havertz equalized for Germany in the 54th minute despite Germany controlling nearly 80% of first-half possession against Paraguay's compact defense.
- Referee Jalal Jayed disallowed a Jonathan Tah header during extra time after a VAR review ruled Waldemar Anton fouled goalkeeper Orlando Gill. Gill saved two penalties before Jose Canale converted the decisive spot-kick.
- German coach Julian Nagelsmann stated, "This is the third elimination in a row, so we are not part of the first-class teams anymore," following the nation's first-ever World Cup penalty shootout loss.
- Paraguay advances to face either France or Sweden on July 4 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, marking the nation's first Round of 16 appearance since 2010 for the 7 million-strong country.
