Brazil looked to respond and Rodrygo was presented with a gilt-edged chance early in the second half but fired well over the target. Later on it was Paraguay defender Ramon Sosa making a last-ditch clearance to prevent Vinicius Jr. from tapping in for the equaliser, followed by goalkeeper Roberto Fernandez denying the Brazilian attacker minutes later.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the end, the Paraguayan defence held strong to register their third qualifying win in 17 matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
