Despite their fighting spirit, Paraguay was down to just 10 players at 10:48am ET.
The second half began with both teams playing hard and creating chances. At 9:33am ET, despite great effort, there was no goal. A shot went a little too high at 9:26am ET.

Despite an early missed opportunity that occurred just three minutes before Brazil’s first goal at 9:40am ET, they still managed to take a commanding lead over Paraguay in the first half.
