Germany vs Paraguay
Germany vs Paraguay in the Round of 32, played June 29, finished 1-1 after extra time before Paraguay won on penalties, 4-3, in what has been widely called the biggest upset of the tournament.
Paraguay's Julio Enciso had given them the lead before Kai Havertz equalized for Germany, and a Jonathan Tah header was controversially disallowed by VAR during extra time in what would have been the winning goal. In the shootout, Havertz, Tah and Nick Woltemade all missed penalties for Germany, handing Paraguay a stunning win over a side that had topped Group E on goal difference, beating Curacao 7-1 and Ivory Coast 2-1 either side of a 1-2 loss to Ecuador. Paraguay, playing their first World Cup since 2010 as a third-place qualifier from Group D after a heavy loss to the USA and wins over Turkiye and a draw with Australia, turned a difficult route back to the tournament into one of its defining stories.
