Germany vs Paraguay LIVE: Julian Nagelsmann confirms stance on future after crushing World Cup exit on penalties | OneFootball

Germany are out of the World Cup after Paraguay held their nerve to win a gripping penalty shoot-out after surviving a controversial VAR in extra-time.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side thought they had taken the lead in extra-time after Jonathan Tah’s header, but VAR intervened and the Germany defender also missed a vital penalty in the shoot-out before Jose Canale buried the decisive kick.

Paraguay had taken a shock lead through Julio Enciso’s crisp header, but Nagelsmann’s side worked their way back into the contest thanks to Florian Wirtz’s curling cross and the thinnest of touches from Kai Havertz to beat Orlando Gill.

And a thrilling shoot-out saw Paraguay twice miss spot kicks to win the tie with Manuel Neuer’s heroic effort following Kai Havertz and Nick Woltermade’s misses, but after Tah’s third miss for Germany, Canale held his nerve to ensure a second South American side advanced on Tuesday to the last 16 after Brazil’s comeback victory over Japan.
