World Cup News :: Ten-man Paraguay stun Brazil

Posted on 2008-06-15 by Gooner

Ten-man Paraguay convincingly beat Brazil 2-0 in Asuncion on Sunday to motor further ahead in the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa qualifying table.

It was a nondescript performance by the five-time world champions, far from their famous spectacular play, who fell to goals in each half by Roque Santa Cruz and Salvador Cabanas in front of 35,000 spectators at the Defensores del Chaco stadium in Ascunsion.

And two minutes after the break, Paraguay right back Dario Veron was handed a second yellow card for a tackle from behind, earning his dismissal.

Brazil coach Dunga, surely with one eye on Wednesday's home clash with Argentina in Belo Horizonte, must have rued the absence of attacking flair of AC Milan's Kaka, who recently had knee surgery and became a father for the first time, and out-of-form Barcelona striker Ronaldinho.
