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?
Paraguay has a fifty-fifty record in penalty kicks in senior football. In eight of the shootouts so far, Paraguay has won four. It has had just one penalty shootout during the FIFA World Cup, which it won against Japan in 2010.
The last penalty shootout was in the 2021 Copa America, when the team lost to Peru due to sudden death.
