Enciso Makes History with Paraguay's First Knockout Goal

Julio Enciso achieved a historic feat on Monday, becoming the first player to score for Paraguay in a FIFA World Cup knockout match. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder/left winger scored in the 42nd minute during Paraguay's Round of 32 game against Germany. This marks a significant moment for Paraguay, who have competed in the FIFA World Cup since 1930.

Paraguay's journey in the FIFA World Cup knockout stages began in 1986. After 40 years and five previous knockout matches without scoring, Enciso's goal against Germany finally broke that streak. Their only prior knockout victory was against Japan in 2010, which was secured through a penalty shootout after a goalless draw.
