Winner-takes-all clash for Group D knockout spot
Paraguay and Australia meet in San Francisco with a place in the World Cup knockout stages on the line as both sides sit tied on three points.
Paraguay enter this final matchday having recovered from a heavy 4-1 opening defeat against the USA by beating Turkey 1-0 on June 20. Gustavo Alfaro’s side knows that avoiding defeat is likely enough to secure progression, and they are aiming to record two group-stage victories at a single World Cup for the first time in their history.
Australia are bidding to reach the knockout stages in successive World Cups for the first time. After a resilient 2-0 win over Turkey to open their campaign, the Socceroos were brought back to earth with a 2-0 loss to the USA. They currently sit second in the group on goal difference, but with Turkey already eliminated, this is a straight shootout for automatic qualification.
