The German national team lost its 2026 World Cup round of 16 match to Paraguay 3:4 on penalties and has been eliminated.

In the round of 16 in Foxborough, Kai Havertz equalized at 1:1 in the 54th minute after Julio Enciso had scored for Paraguay. A goal by Jonathan Tah in extra time was disallowed by the VAR due to an alleged foul.

In the penalty shootout, Tah, Nick Woltemade and Havertz missed their attempts. Julian Nagelsmann had demanded a “Drecksack-Mentalität” before the match, but the team lacked penetration for long periods.

Paraguay will now face the winner of France versus Sweden in the quarterfinals. For Germany the tournament ended in the first knockout round.
