The United States: The U.S Men’s National Team started a two-match series against World Cup-bound South American opponents during the November international window with a confident display, securing a 2-1 victory over a lively Paraguay side at Subaru Park. The team took an early lead with a fourth-minute goal from midfielder Gio Reyna and clinched the win with a second-half winning strike by striker Folarin Balogun.

The victory extends the USMNT’s current unbeaten streak against World Cup-qualified opponents to four consecutive matches. In September, Paraguay secured qualification for the FIFA 2026 World Cup, marking the nation’s return to the tournament for the first time in 16 years.

The USMNT started the match aggressively; the opening moments proved to be exciting, and the fans at Subaru Park witnessed two goals in the first 10 minutes of action.
