The spirit of Salvador Cabanas is definitely on the Paraguayans in their match.
The Albiroja are looking awfully good, pressing up forward in numbers, hustling the Slovaks off the ball.
The goal came from a delectable move by Lucas Barrios slipping past Skrtel and Durica and finding Enrique Vera who kept his composure under pressure to toe poke the ball past Jan Mucha in the 27th minute.
The Slovaks have been invisible and their best player Marek Hamsik has not exerted himself in this match. To be honest, the Paraguayans have been quite disciplined at the back and have not given up the ball like past squads.
How will the Slovaks respond in the second half? Do the Paraguayans maintain their attacking ascendancy?
