Germany and Paraguay head to penalty kicks at 1-1 in the round of 32 at the
World Cup

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) --- Germany and Paraguay are headed to penalty kicks
after playing to a 1-1 draw through extra time in the round of 32 at the World
Cup on Monday.
Paraguay went in front when Julio Enciso scored on a header late in the first
half. Kai Havertz equalized in the 52nd minute for Germany.
With the score in the knockout round still even after extra time, a penalty
shootout decides which team advances to the next round.
Germany appeared to take a 2-1 lead in the 102nd minute when Jonathan Tah
headed in a corner kick by Nathaniel Brown that was just above the reach of
Paraguay goalkeeper Orlando Gill. But a video review ruled that Waldemar Anton
has pushed Gill to the ground before the shot and the goal was disallowed.
In the only previous World Cup match between the teams, Germany beat Paraguay
1-0 in the round of 16 at the 2002 tournament.
Monday was Germany's first knockout game since the 2014 final in Brazil when
the Germans beat Argentina 1-0 to capture their fourth World Cup title.
