Match Report

National stadium
Spectators: 10300 (Terracing: 7725, Seating: 2369, VIP seats: 206)
The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Kazimir Pendo took the kick off in the first half of the match. Roman Čekalović took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Xavion Pestaña, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 6 minutes into the game, Kazimir Pendo cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Platon Balanzuela was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Xavion Pestaña could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 10th minute of the match, but Roman Čekalović made a huge save. Xavion Pestaña sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 15th minute of the match, Xavion Pestaña got a very nice opportunity to score, but Roman Čekalović was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Croatia's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Natko Ljubičić in the 23rd minute. Croatia's Marko Sansević got a good chance for a goal in the 25th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Xavion Pestaña received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 28th minute. Roman Čekalović tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Mane Pazos made in the 29th minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by Xavion Pestaña. Tihomir Antić charged in rather forcefully in the 30th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Tihomir Antić the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Croatia's Jakov Mata was substituted for Tihomir Antić. 33 minutes had been played when some careless play by Croatia's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Mane Pazos was slow to take the kick. During this time Paraguay's players had a chance to rest. Paraguay's Mane Pazos was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Roman Čekalović in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Platon Balanzuela took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Kazimir Pendo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Roman Čekalović made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Xavion Pestaña in the 39th minute of play. In the 41st minute Kazimir Pendo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Platon Balanzuela saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The supporters of Paraguay booed when Croatia was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 43 match minutes in a wonderful position. Fabijan Mihovilović didn't get a good kick on the ball. 45 minutes into the match, Croatia's goalkeeper Roman Čekalović had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Mane Pazos. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Xavion Pestaña stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 52 minutes into the match, Paraguay's Xavion Pestaña sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Roman Čekalović narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 55th minute Xavion Pestaña shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Roman Čekalović saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Everyone was convinced a goal was close when Croatia's Kazimir Pendo in the 61st minute lifted the ball towards the upper right corner, but Platon Balanzuela was perfectly placed and prevented a goal for Paraguay through an amazing save. Fabijan Mihovilović charged in rather forcefully in the 63rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Fabijan Mihovilović the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Croatia getting a freekick after 63 minutes play. Fabijan Mihovilović hit a great ball. Fabijan Mihovilović kicked well hit freekick during the 65th minute of the match. Kazimir Pendo kicked well hit freekick during the 67th minute of the match. Paraguay's Adan Juarrero was substituted for Xavion Pestaña. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eate Fonoll in the 69th minute of play forced Croatia's goalkeeper Roman Čekalović to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Adan Juarrero took the ball and in the 73 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Roman Čekalović. Roman Čekalović dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. The audience was convinced that Kazimir Pendo's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Platon Balanzuela was relentless in the 78th minute of the game. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kazimir Pendo in the 85th minute of play forced Paraguay's goalkeeper Platon Balanzuela to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 91 played minutes Paraguay got a freekick which was hit by Mane Pazos. The supporters of Croatia booed when Paraguay was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 94 match minutes in a wonderful position. Adan Juarrero didn't get a good kick on the ball. Kazimir Pendo sent away a hard shot on goal in the 95th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Platon Balanzuela showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Kazimir Pendo, who was totally free with the ball in the 96th minute. The Paraguay supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching Croatia's performance. The match ended with a win for Croatia.
