In a preparatory friendly for the 2026 World Cup, Paraguay lost to South Korea 2-0 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium this Tuesday. The Paraguayans had five players from Brazilian football available, including defender Gustavo Gómez from Palmeiras and midfielder Damian Bobadilla from São Paulo.
According to Sofascore, the players from the São Paulo rivals had discreet performances. Gustavo Gómez, Paraguay's captain, played the full 90 minutes, missed 12 passes, and did not make any tackles in the match.
Bobadilla played only the first 45 minutes and, despite completing 93% of his passes, was not very active on either side of the field.
Both full-back positions for Paraguay featured players from the Brasileirão. On the right side, Alan Benítez from Internacional had a good game, participating in eight defensive actions.
On the other hand, left-back Júnior Alonso from Atlético-MG was rated the worst player of the match, based on Sofascore criteria. Besides failing in the first goal by Korea, the Atlético player lost the ball nine times and did not perform well offensively.
Forward Angel Romero from Corinthians entered the field at the 37th minute of the second half. Due to the limited time remaining in the match, the player had only five actions with the ball.
Now, the players return to their respective clubs. The next FIFA Date will be held starting on November 10.
