Brazil gained a measure of revenge with a narrow 1-0 home victory over Paraguay in their World Cup qualifier on June 11, 2025, at 08:45 local time. This tight match result reversed the outcome from their previous meeting and kept Brazil's qualification campaign on track. The only goal came from a second-half penalty, calmly converted after a handball was spotted by the VAR. Paraguay defended stubbornly throughout and threatened on the counter-attack, but Brazil's defense held firm to secure a vital clean sheet. The three points were essential for Brazil's league table position, moving them closer to securing their place at the World Cup finals.
