Gianni Truvianni's "South Africa 2010", Paraguay Defeats Slovakia 2-0 In Solid Performance

Paraguay got off to a dominating start in their match against Slovakia. This coming in a game which they would control from start to finish as their offense went to work while their defense and midfield stifled what ever attempts their opponents made at going forward. Paraguay would not have to wait long for their first goal which came 26 minutes in to the match when Enrique Vera assisted by Lucas Barrios, managed to angle his shot past a diving, Jan Mucha. His efforts giving Paraguay a well earned 1-0 lead over their European rival. Paraguay would go on to dominate the half yet despite having most of the scoring chances would not add on to their lead; as the half would end 1-0.

The second half began much like the second one, ending with Paraguay's midfield of Caceres, Rivero and Vera dominating play and creating danger in the Slovakian defense. Paraguay also aided by their returning international forward, Roque Santa Cruz; who missed Paraguay's first match. Paraguay's better play however had to wait till the 84th minute to score their second goal which came when Riveros's shot from the edge of the box made its way past Slovak goalkeeper; Mucha. Paraguay, not only would go on to a 2-0 victory but would show the class of their South American football which in the past has seen them win the Copa America on more than one occasion.

In conclusion, I would say that Paraguay played very well today though in my opinion; have yet to show their best which they will need to do so in the next round if they wish to advance to the quarterfinals. It being almost a sure thing, for all they need is a draw against New Zealand for their passage to the round of 16 to become a mathematical certainty. As for Slovakia, it is almost certain that they have been eliminated yet will play against Italy, who surely will be in search of a victory from the start in order to assure themselves a place in the round of 16.
