The game started slowly, with neither team having a dangerous chance during the first few minutes. The current world champion did not show, what was expected: A clear victory. Even though, they improved in the second half of the game, it is not enough to encounter really strong teams. Italy will have to improve.
As well Paraguay, who has shown a solid performance during the last few years in all South American competitions could not deliver that necessary small extra in order to beat Italy. However, it's possible that these two teams will proceed to the round of 16 anyway.
