The campaign featured wins over Curacao 7-1 and Ivory Coast 2-1, then a 2-1 defeat by Ecuador before Paraguay ended their run.

"We didn’t play well against any opponent. On three occasions we had major problems against teams that are not world-class. That’s a fact."

"We fully deserved to be eliminated."
