France 24 · France · Paraguay end Germany's perfect World Cup penalty record in Foxborough
France 24 noted Paraguay's run to the last 16 is their deepest in 16 years, and contextualised Germany's exit through the disallowed Tah goal ruled by VAR as a foul by Waldemar Anton on Gill during the build-up. Germany's shootout record, unbroken across 72 years, ended with the loss.
“Germany have lost a penalty shootout at a World Cup for the first time in their history.”
