Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Gillette Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Germany and Paraguay.
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Antonio Sanabria suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Germany that had 166 games and scored 50 goals.
- 15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Germany side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 20' Paraguay has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
- 25' Germany currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.

- 42' Julio Enciso is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 1 goals this season for the .
- 46' Leon Goretzka is ready to make an impact after coming on for Felix Kalu Nmecha at the 46 minute mark.
- 51' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 55' A tactical swap from Paraguay — Gustavo Caballero on, Gabriel Avalos off on 55 minutes.

- 70' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Germany and Paraguay are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 75' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joshua Kimmich made 541 appearances and scored 29 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 79' Waldemar Anton is ready to make an impact after coming on for Aleksandar Pavlovic at the 79 minute mark.
- 84' The travelling Paraguay supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 88' Nick Woltemade has so much to prove this time. He replaces Leroy Sane on 88 minute.
