Paraguay marched into the knockout phase of the FIFA Futsal World Cup™ with a game to spare and left Uzbekistan’s dream hanging by a thread.
Quick-fire goals by Jorge Espinoza and Arnaldo Baez got the Albirroja rolling, and Javier Salas added an exquisite dink. Despite the scoreline, the Uzbek supporters were tremendous throughout.
Uzbekistan must go all out for victory against Costa Rica in Tashkent on Friday, while Paraguay travel to Bukhara to face the Netherlands.
