Paraguay went in front in regulation when Julio Enciso scored on a header late in the first half. Kai Havertz equalized in the 52nd minute for Germany.

Canale scores and Paraguay have done it! What a moment for Paraguay as they reach the Round of 16. Heartbreak for Germany as they are eliminated!

Another miss for Germany as Orlando Hill saves again!

Mauricio scores and Paraguay led 1-0!

Orlando Hill saves it and a big miss from Kai Havertz! Advantage Paraguay!

The score remains 1-1 after extra time and we will have penalties!

A free header from Anton but it was straight at the keeper. The Paraguay No. 1 did not have to move an inch as he completed an important save.

A needless tackle and yellow card for Jamal Musiala. Germany are clearly frustrated right now and it is showing in their conduct!

Amiri and Thiaw introduced and it looks like Germany are now getting ready for penalties!

One half of extra time is over! 15 minutes remain and if no team can find a goal, we will have penalties!

What drama! Jonathan Tah headed home from the corner and Germany were convinced that they had the goal they was needed. However, the referee believes that there was a foul on the goalkeeper in the goal's build-up and the goal is disallowed! Germany are not happy!

A strong call for penalty from the Germany players but the referee is not convinced. The ball hit the under side of the Paraguay defender's arm and still 1-1 in this match.

30 minutes in this game and Germany will surely look to score the winning goal. However, it is perfect for Paraguay as they.will not mind to take this game to the penalties.

Nothing to separate these teams in normal time! It is extra-time for the first time in this year's World Cup!

Nick Woltermade is here for Germany and this is a huge gamble. Now, they have a focal point in attacks but he does not contribute much in terms of tracking back or defensive gameplay.

The match seems to be headed towards extra time with both teams not finding a good chance. However, both Round of 32 matches have seen late winners. Will that be the case once again?

Another massive chance and Kai Havertz had a free header this time. However, the Paraguay goalkeeper once again pulled off a good save to leave Germany in a spot of bother.

An explosive effort by Leroy Sane from outside the box but it took.a deflection and was collected easily by the Paraguay keeper. The game has settled down quite a bit with both sides looking quite cautious.

Significant changes from both teams in this match - Enciso off for Paraguay while Musiala replaces Undav for Germany!

Kai Havertz scores and Germany have made it 1-1! What a relief and what an assist for Florian Wirtz. A brilliant cross into the box and Havertz did just enough to guide the ball into the net. GAME ON!

Another chance for Enciso to double the lead but this time, Neuer was able to collect the ball in time. Not much difference in the second half as Germany are lacking creativity massively!

The second half begins and it will be interesting to see how Germany responds from 0-1 down. Meanwhile a change for Germany as Goretza replaced Nmecha.

It is half-time and Paraguay lead 1-0 against Germany. Not the scoreline many people expected and we can be looking at a proper upset! Can Germany fight back or will Paraguay register a historic win?

Germany were clearly in control but this goal has rattled them. A defensive lapse and bad positioning by Neuer meant that they did not have any chance of stopping the goal. They need a comeback and they need it fast!

Julio Enciso scores and Paraguay lead 1-0 against Germany! What scenes! A brilliant header from the youngster and Neuer was nowhere close to making a save. This is massive!

Germany need to change things at the halfway mark as this is not working. A player like Musiala may unlock the Paraguay defence or Nagelsmann may look to introduce someone like Woltermade!

34 minutes gone and Germany have played 200 more passes than Paraguay!

Finally a good chance for Germany but Leroy Sane was offside by a mile. The loopy ball fooled the Paraguay goalkeeper as Germany were left with a great chance. However, the flag is up and the move ends in failure.

Paraguay have been quite comfortable in sitting back and absorbing all the pressure from Germany. While Germany have dominated possession, they have not come up with dangerous balls for their attackers. As a result, Paraguay have found it quite easy to keep their structure intact.

Wirtz and Undav have both made solid runs from outside the box but the final balls is still missing. Havertz has not been involved in the game much and they will need to feed the striker with proper deliveries if they want to score.

Germany have finally settled in this game and they are attacking constantly. Undav's effort went sailing over the goal while a dangerous ball into the box was dealt with well by the defender.

Big injury concern for Paraguay as Gustavo Gomez looks in a spot of bother. The Paraguay star looks in a lot of pain and had to go out of the ground. However, it looks like it is not very serious and he will be able to come back.

The first half begins and Germany are immediately on the back foot. Enciso came up with a brilliant footwork to earn Paraguay a corner. However, nothing came off it.

Germany - Baumann, Nubel, Amiri, Anton, Beier, Goretzka, Groß, Leweling, Musiala, Quedraogo, Raum, Stiller, Thiaw, Woltemade

Paraguay - Olveira, Fernandez, Alderete, Arce, Caballero, Fabian Balbuena, Kaku, Maidana, Mauricio, Ojeda, Pitta, Sanabria, Sosa, Velazquez

The two teams are making their way to the middle and it is time for the national anthems. An exciting encounter awaits!

Manuel Neuer makes his 23rd start at a World Cup, a new German record (Lothar Matthaus and Miroslav Klose with 22 each).

It was a somewhat rocky road for Germany in the group stages. They won their first two games against Curacao and Ivory Coast but the loss against Ecuador was a huge blow to them. However, it is a new day and they will be looking to take care of their defensive lapses.

Germany have handed Deniz Undav a start against Paraguay and this can be huge. He has been very impressive in the World Cup till now and he scored the brace that handed his team the win over Ivory Coast.

Welcome to the live coverage of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 clash between Germany and Paraguay! This match may seem one-sided on paper but Germany's recent form has been quite concerning.
