Paraguay claimed a narrow 1-0 away victory over Turkey in a Group D second round World Cup match, moving to the top of the group standings. The fixture was played at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium and was decided by a single goal in the second half, giving Paraguay a second straight group win.
After a goalless first period, Paraguay broke the deadlock in the 71st minute, scoring the lone match-winning goal. Turkey responded with sustained attacking pressure in the closing stages, but their efforts did not produce an equalizer, and the score remained 0-1 at the end of regulation time.
With this result, Paraguay collect six points from two matches and stand first in Group D. Turkey remain on zero points after two consecutive defeats and are now mathematically eliminated from knockout stage contention with one group match remaining, in which they will face Australia and the United States.
