Paraguay held on for a 1-0 victory over Turkey while playing with a numerical disadvantage through the majority of the match. Galarza opened the scoring in the first minute, setting the tone for a defensive masterclass.
Despite sustained Turkish pressure and multiple attacking waves, Paraguay's disciplined rearguard withstood 60+ minutes with 10 players on the pitch, holding firm without conceding.
The result guarantees USA top position in Group D standings following their earlier victories in the group stage.
Market impact: Paraguay's resilience despite the red card raises tactical valuations for remaining fixtures; USA's group-top seeding affects knockout-draw probabilities and bracket betting.
