The Paraguayan national team beat the Mexican national team on Wednesday with a goal from Derlis González and confirmed the shortcomings of El Tri, in a friendly played at the Mercedes Benz stadium in Atlanta less than three months after his debut in the Qatar World Cup 2022.

The goalkeeper Antony Silva saved several times the team led by coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto, who had only one arrived at the rival area and took advantage of it with a goal by González.

The first half was dominated by Mexico, which was confirmed with one piece of information: the figure of Paraguay was Silva.

Mexico had possession in favor 71-24, entered the wings well and stepped on the area of repeatedly with five shots on goal, but he lacked accuracy in attacks by César Montes, Jesús Gallardo and Roberto Alvarado.

The Paraguayans stood well back, waiting for a counterattack and, although they attacked little bit, they met the objective of keeping their goal at zero.

Paraguay, which ranks number 50 in the FIFA ranking, hit the Mexicans early in the second half. In the 51 Carlos González won a ball and crashed it into the crossbar; Derlis González rescued a rebound and knocked on the door for the 0-1.

Mexico went on the attack and was close to equalizing with a shot by Romo that hit the crossbar, in the 51, and a long distance shot by Luis Chávez, in the 67.

The Paraguayans stood well back, put ice in the game and hindered Mexico’s attack, which was close to scoring again, with a shot by Erick Sánchez in the 86, stopped by goalkeeper Silva, hero of the South American victory.

El Tri will reappear next 24 September in Los Angeles against Peru, they will face Colombia on 29 in Santa Clara and will close their preparation for the World Cup in a friendly in Girona, Spain, against Sweden.
