Paraguay secured their place in the last 16 with a 0-0 draw against New Zealand. The result meant the South Americans finished top of their group, while New Zealand finished the tournament unbeaten and above world champions Italy. If New Zealand had scored, they could have gone through. Unfortunately, they didn’t once trouble the Paraguayan goalkeeper. New Zealand’s ‘keeper was his team’s hero again as he kept out a few goal-bound shots. The best of these was from Manchester City striker Roque Santa Cruz. As the clock ticked down, New Zealand and the teams in the other group match, Slovakia and Italy, were still unsure who would go through at the final whistle. A goal from any of the teams could send the others out. It failed to come in this match so Paraguay went through as winners.
