Caption: Paraguay Stun Germany in Dramatic World Cup Penalty Shootout. Four-time champions Germany crashed out of the 2026 World Cup after Paraguay secured a dramatic 4-3 penalty shootout victory following a 1-1 draw. Kai Havertz and Nick Woltemade both missed from the spot, while Paraguay finally sealed victory through Jose Canale after several missed opportunities. Julio Enciso gave Paraguay a first-half lead before Havertz equalized after halftime, but Germany failed to find a winning goal despite sustained pressure. A late Jonathan Tah header was ruled out for a foul, forcing extra time before the tense contest was ultimately decided on penalties. Goalkeeper Orlando Gill emerged as Paraguay's hero, making two crucial saves and helping eliminate a Germany side ranked thirty-one places above them. The defeat marked Germany's first-ever World Cup penalty shootout loss, extending another disappointing chapter following early exits in 2018 and 2022.
