This is the starting line-up of Paraguay:

5. Delio Toledo
6. Carlos Bonet
7. Roberto Acuna
8. Carlos Humberto Paredes

10. Nelson Haedo Valdez
11. Nelson Cuevas

The national anthem sung by a children chorus sound very well…

This is probably the team that will start against England the next June 10. The only probably change will be Roque instead of Cuevas

3′ first play Georgia’s shoot went far away the Paraguayan goal

7′ Parades make a power shoot, Georgia goalkepper conceded a corner.

8′ Cuevas tried a shoot, nothing happens

11′ Georgia goalkepper once again is under fire

All the plays pass by the feets of Acuna, considering than Dos Santos is not playing, he is the creative player.

Until now the Georgia team didn’t demand much to the Paraguayan players.

17′ Villar very secure after a Georgia’s free-kick

21′ Cuevas is trying to lead the Paraguayan attack

The Field is in very bad shape, its giving problems to the players to control tha ball

24′ Asatiani scored, but the referee said that he was off-side

30′ Loamia conceded a corner after a powerful shot of Bonet

34′ Carlos Humberto Paredes lost a great opportunity of scoring

37′ GOOOOOOOOOOLLLL!!!! Nelson Haedo Valdez score a pretty nice goal after receiving a pass from Bonet

Paraguay 1 – Georgia 0

40′ Cuevas lost a great chance of scoring. The Paraguayan forwards are winning in speed to the Georgian defenders

42′ Nelson Haedo almost scored his second goal

44′ Nelson Haedo and Cuevitas make the Georgia defense struggles

45′ The referee said that the first half is over…

Half time Highlights:
- Although that the midfield is very defensive, they are getting all the balls, Acuna and Paredes are making a great work in moving the ball, and Riveros and Bonet are playing very well. I think that Riveros should play instead of Julio Dos Santos.
- Nelson Haedo Valdez once again showed that once he has sombody that can pass him the ball he is very dangerous. This is really tha player to watch.
- Cuevitas at first tried once again to play personally, then he remembered to play WITH the team, he is continuning with his improvement, if Roque doesn’t recover for the game against England he is the one that should play.
- The Defense and the Goalkepper although that they were not put under a lot of pressure, they are playing very well

1′ First play, Riveros’ shot went above the goal.

2′ The rain made its appearance in the game.

Neither of the teams changed its players.

5′ Asatiani had a chance to score, the ball went out

Georgia is trying to play a little more offensive, Paraguay is chossing the wrong way because is trying to play in the center on the field against of its sides where they can use the speed of its players.

10′ Paraguay made its first changes, Barreto enters instead of Cristian Riveros, and Julio Dos Santos instead of Roberto Acuna
Lets see if Julio Dos Santos can recover a place in the starting line-up

14′ Nelson Haedo lost a clear chance of scoring, he tried to connect with Cuevas but the defense intercept the ball.

15′ Kakha Aladashvili gets the first yellow card

Georgia made its first changes: Georgi instead of Lasha Salukvadze and Matte instead of Kakha Aladashvili

17′ Nelson Haedo once again made a dangerous play, corner for Paraguay.

There are some strong enters made by the Georgia players. Lets hope that anybody gets injured.

20′ Shota Arveladze tests Justo Villar reflects, good responce from the goalkepper.

Georgia is testing more the Paraguayan defense, no problems this far.

24′ Matte gets a yellow card

25′ Georgia made other changes.

26′ Another hard enter by the Georgian player, it deserved a red card.

Paraguay had lost the control of the midfield, Barreto and primarily Dos Santos are not getting the marks.

31′ Shota Arveladze brought danger to the Paraguayan defense, the field didn’t help him

33′ Delio Toledo saw the first yellow card of the Paraguayan team.

37′ Georgia is pressing the Parguayan defense

38′ Cuevas is exhaust, and the coach doesn’t care!!!

40′ Cuevas had a chance but nobody was close to receive the ball

41′ Georgia tried again, the Paraguayan defense controlled without any problem

42′ Both forwards are exhaust, what in the bloody hell is thinking the coach, why he doesn’t put in Cabanas or Cardozo?

43′ Dos Santos puts a good pass to Nunez, the Georgian defense intercepted the ball.

43′ Karlhadi test again the defense, Paredes kick out the ball

44′ Bad intervention of Villar in the corner

47′ the Referee said that the game is finish

Second Half Highlights:
- Paraguay lost the mark in the midflied in the second half. The change of Riveros and Acuna didn’t contribute nothing to the team.
- Julio Dos Santos is not playing well of at least, not in a World Cup level.
- The defense and the goalkepper didn’t have much problems.
- The duet Cuevas-Haedo made a good job, the problem now is how to give them the ball.
- Our coach need not make the rights changes in during the game, we know that in friendly games you need to try all the players, but he leave the forwards when they were really tired.
