Paraguay beat Japan on penalty shootout

PRETORIA - PARAGUAY beat Japan on penalties to move into the World Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday after the match had finished in a goalless stalemate after extra time.

Japan's Yuichi Komano hit the crossbar with his team's third spot kick, the only one missed in the first shootout of the finals.

Paraguay, who become the fourth South American team after Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, in the last eight, will now meet Spain or Portugal after holding their nerve to win the shootout 5-3. MORE
