Neuer's record-breaking stat sums up Germany's World Cup worries 😪 | OneFootball

Germany were staring down the barrel of yet another disastrous World Cup exit after Paraguay took a shock lead in Boston. 

Manuel Neuer's position in the lineup has been a topic of hot debate and his now-record-equalling stat summed up the four-time champions' woes.  

Julio Enciso's 42nd minute opener is the 10th consecutive game at the competition that the legendary stopper has now conceded in - a run only matched by only one other goalkeeper. 

It came on a day where the Bayern Munich man surpassed Lothar Matthäus as the German player with the most appearances (23) at the World Cup.

Remarkably, the last time the 40-year-old kept a clean sheet on the grandest stage came against the might of Lionel Messi and Argentina in the 2014 final when Germany lifted the famous trophy for the first time as a unified nation. 

Die Mannschaft have not won a knockout game since but Kai Havertz has come to his nation's rescue early into the second half. 

Can he his teammates complete the comeback?
