Germany 1-1 Paraguay (Paraguay won 4-3 on pens)
Goals: 0-1 Enciso 42' (assist: Galarza), 1-1 Havertz 54' (assist: Wirtz)
Paraguay started brightly, with Julio Enciso driving forward down the left in the opening minute before his deflected shot was turned behind for a corner. From the resulting set piece, Júnior Alonso turned and shot at goal, only for Manuel Neuer to produce an important early save.
Germany gradually took control, dominating possession and creating half-chances through Deniz Undav and Kai Havertz, but Paraguay sat in two deep banks of four and offered little space.
Then, against the run of play in the 42nd minute, Paraguay struck. Miguel Almirón was overlapped by Matías Galarza, whose cross to the penalty spot was met by the unmarked Enciso, who headed home to give the South Americans a 1-0 lead.
