Germany and Paraguay head to extra time at 1-1 in the round of 32 at the World Cup

By KYLE HIGHTOWER,  FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP):- Germany and Paraguay are headed to extra time after playing to a 1-1 score through 90 minutes at the World Cup on Monday.

Paraguay went in front when Julio Enciso scored on a header late in the first half. Kai Havertz equalized in the 52nd minute for Germany.

The teams will now play 30 minutes of extra time, split into two 15-minute halves. If the score is still even after extra time, there will be a penalty shootout to decide which team advances to the round of 16.

In the only previous World Cup match between the teams, Germany beat Paraguay 1-0 in the round of 16.

Monday was Germany’s first knockout game since the 2014 final in Brazil when the Germans beat Argentina 1-0 to capture their fourth World Cup title.
