Paraguay v Australia
Play By Play
It's all over here in San Francisco, as Group D concludes with a 0-0 draw between Paraguay and Australia - a result that should be enough to see both sides through to the round of 32. Australia are guaranteed of a round of 32 place after finishing the group in second place. They started well and had three good chances in the first half, but Gill in goal proved to be quite the obstacle. A nervous second half saw Australia spend more time in their own half, with Paraguay attacking and looking for the winner, however, they did not produce a defining moment with Beach not forced into making any difficult saves. Both sides will now need to sit and wait to see who their next opponent will be with Australia to play the runner up from Group G - who could really be any of the four teams in an open group. Paraguay on the other hand have finished third in the group. However, they remain strongly in the hunt for a place in the round of 32 as they currently sit in fourth place on the third place rankings on 4 points. They face a nervous wait but they should be fine to progress. That's all from us here. Thanks for joining us and goodbye.
FULL TIME: PARAGUAY 0-0 AUSTRALIA
Australia pass the ball around and it's only a matter of time........
Bos is brought down by Bodadilla and Australia will be in no hurry to take this free kick with the clock ticking down.
CHANCE! Hrustic cuts it back inside the box to Yengi who shoots, but he can't get enough power onto it to beat Gill who claims it comfortably.
CHANCE! Some space opens up on the edge of the box for Mauricio, but it's too close to Beach's near post and he makes a comfortable save.
Diego Gomez, who will miss the round of 32 game should Paraguay qualify, has been replaced by Damian Bobadilla who stretches the legs for a few minutes.
Matías Galarza comes off. He is replaced by Junior Alonso who makes a cameo.
Paraguay look to make some final changes.
There will be five additional minutes of stoppage time.
CHANCE! Bos breaks into the box on the right and opens up the space for a shot. He looks to shoot across Gill but it's just wide of the left post.
Both teams look to be focussed on game management and not making a mistake. One of them could prove to be costly.
If the current 0-0 scoreline remains at full-time, Australia will qualify for the round of 32 in second place. Paraguay would be currently in fourth in the eight positions for the top eight thirds and should also be able to advance.
Nestory Irankunda has given his all today but it was just one of those games today where he was targetted and shut out. He is replaced by Tete Yengi.
Australia make two changes. The first of which sees Jackson Irvine comes off for Paul Okon-Engstler who was left out of today's starting line up.
Here come the changes with both sides waiting to make them. For Paraguay Omar Alderete is replaced by Jose Canale.
CHANCE! Bos cuts left and enters the box. He looks to muscle his way in between two defenders and shoot, but his shot takes a deflection and rolls safely to Gill.
CHANCE! Paraguay are trying anything to break down Australia's defence. This time Enciso twists and turns to find some room outside the box but his shot drags wide to the left for a goal-kick.
Australia's defence, much like Paraguay's in the first half, is proving to be quite firm and well organised.
The yellow card will see Gomez miss Paraguay's round of 32 match should they progress.
Diego Gomez is booked for a cynical tackle on Bos who was looking to move along the right.
Paraguay are happy to send down the long ball in order to catch out the Australian defence but it doesn't appear to be working yet.
Galarza tries to send the ball through, but it's too heavy and goes out for a goal-kick to Australia.
Velazquez sends it into the box but the Australian defence stands tall and heads it clear.
We are back on with the crowd in full voice.
