Paraguay Keep Hopes Alive, Turkey Out Of FIFA World Cup
Paraguay defeated Turkey to boost qualification hopes. Matias Galarza scored a goal in just 64 seconds, making it the tournament’s fastest goal and Paraguay’s quickest since 1998. However, both teams failed to score after this, and Paraguay sneaked out a crucial win. The win helped the team move to third in the points table. The final game against Australia, who also have three points, now becomes a virtual knockout for both teams in terms of direct qualification; however, a defeat would not necessarily mean elimination, as the loser can still qualify among the top eight third-placed teams.
