Diego Gomez stunned Brazil with a first-half strike that secured Paraguay's first win against the Selecao since 2008, marking a significant upset in World Cup qualifiers.
Brazil's lack of offensive threat was evident, managing just three shots on target and finishing with an expected goals (xG) total of only 0.57 during the match.
Paraguay's defense has been commendable, securing clean sheets in five of their last eight qualifiers. Only Argentina has managed to keep more shutouts in this timeframe.
This victory vaulted Paraguay to within a point of Brazil in the World Cup qualifying standings, highlighting the competitive nature of the CONMEBOL group.
