NBC News · 2d ago

Paraguay produced the tournament's biggest shock yet, holding four-time champion Germany to a 1-1 draw through extra time before winning 4-3 on penalties in the Round of 32. Jose Canale buried the clinching spot kick after misses from Kai Havertz, Nick Woltemade and Jonathan Tah, with goalkeeper Orlando Gill adding two saves in the shootout. It is the first time Germany has ever lost a World Cup penalty shootout, ending Die Mannschaft's run far earlier than expected.
