Turkey 0:1 Paraguay — Match Report

Gary RedknappGary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT
Matías Galarza scored inside two minutes as Paraguay beat Turkey 1-0 in this World Cup fixture, setting up a meeting with W77 next. The match, however, was far from straightforward for the South Americans, who spent the majority of it defending a slender lead.
The turning point arrived in the second minute when Julio Enciso teed up Galarza to fire home from close range. Galarza was then booked two minutes later, and the game shifted decisively just before half-time when Miguel Almirón was shown a straight red card, a decision confirmed after a VAR check. Turkey dominated the second period but could not find a way through.
Turkey were clearly the better side after the interval and deserved at least a point from the second half alone, making the final result a fortunate one for Paraguay. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Turkey to win, a prediction that was not confirmed by the eventual outcome, though the live signals did correctly back Paraguay at 1.89. Paraguay now face W77 on 4 July.
