A possible penalty shootout looms at the 2026 FIFA World Cup as Germany remain level with Paraguay in their round of 32 match in Boston on Monday.
Julio Enciso put Paraguay ahead in the first half before Kai Havertz restored parity after the break.
If the match remains tied at the end of extra time, the match will go to a penalty shootout.
What is Germany’s record in penalty kicks?
Germany has an almost perfect record in penalty shootouts in senior football. In seven of its shootouts so far, Germany has won six.
The last penalty shootout was a decade ago, when Italy defeated Italy in the quarter-finals of the 2016 European Championship.
