Match Summary:
Facts & Figures
2 Miguel Dominguez is the second Paraguayan player sent off in a WYC final phase match. The first
red card was shown to Victor Milciades Morel in the match played against the Soviet Union on 1 July
1977 in Sfax (Tunisia); Paraguay lost 1-2.
6 Paraguay had 6 shots more than Germany (21 to 15) but put on goal only 6 (28.57%).
Germany made on goal 10 out of their 15 attempts (66.66%): Christian Timm made 5 shots (2 on the
net), Enrico Kern 3, all converted in goal.
The physically robust Paraguayans gradually got the better of the first half,
even if their long-range shooting seldom troubled German goalkeeper
Hildebrand. Tricky winger Dominguez soon won the crowd's approval with his
clever dribbling, but it was the German's Kern who opened the scoring with
a close-range goal on the break and the same player added a similar second on
the hour before completing his hat-trick. Paraguay's frustration led to
Dominguez's red card for punching Kern, and his departure robbed the South
Americans of their main weapon against the organised Germans. Falk's goal
at the end was a spectacular shot from 35 metres.
1 Enrico Kern scored Germany's first hat-trick in 19 matches played in WYC final
phases. Germany has scored a total of 37 goals (15 conceded) and its best scorer is Marcel Witeczek
(7 goals in 6 matches played in 1987 edition).
