> Paraguay goalkeeper Orlando Gill made two crucial saves as the underdogs stunned Germany 4-3 on penalties to claim the biggest World Cup 2026 upset so far.

Paraguay goalkeeper Orlando Gill made two shootout saves as the underdog South Americans stunned four-time champion Germany 4-3 on penalties Monday at Boston Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The match ended 1-1 after extra time, with Julio Enciso heading Paraguay into the lead before Kai Havertz equalized for Germany in the 52nd minute.

José Canale converted the decisive sudden-death penalty to complete the biggest shock of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Germany, who had won six straight major tournament penalty shootouts, exit the competition following an earlier group-stage loss to Ecuador.

Paraguay advance to the Round of 16 in Philadelphia on Saturday, where they face the winner of France vs. Sweden.
