Paraguay 5-3 Japan
For the first time in this summer's historic world cup, two teams battled it out into the penalties level. Japan and Paraguay, are the two teams. The game had it's up and downs but none struck the net in any of the stipulated normal 90 minutes. Then they went into extra time, but still the stalemate would not be blocked and the time for the penalties came. The man under the blue samurai's football radar right is their defender, Yashuto Endo (Gamba Osaka), who hit the crossbar int the third penalty shout out for Japan. Paraguay therefore cruise on into the quarters, awaiting a team that would win tonight's match between Portugal and Spain. Japan on the other side go home, but not as losers. This is because during their entire tournament tour, they represented Asian football well and to the fullest showing to the world how Asian footbal has grown with time. Paraguay won 5-3, marking a historic moment in their football calender as the date when they first reached the world quarters round.
