Match Summary:
In a fairly rough encounter, Paraguay showed the same attacking spirit which had characterised its game against Germany. Costa Rica replied immediately to Paraguay's opening goal with Garita scoring from the edge of the box. The South Americans dominated large parts of the second half. The third goal by Cuevas after a brilliant solo secured Paraguay's win and three points which keep them in the race for a spot in the knock-out stage.
