USA went in front on 6' when Damian Bobadilla turned the ball into his own net for a 1-0 lead. Paraguay’s frustration showed early too, with Juan Jose Caceres booked at 9'.
The hosts doubled the advantage at 30' as Folarin Balogun finished with Christian Pulisic credited with the assist, and Balogun made it 3-0 on 45' from Malik Tillman’s pass.
Both sides changed at the interval: USA replaced Pulisic with Sebastian Berhalter, while Paraguay brought on Mauricio for Bobadilla. Paraguay’s caution count grew as Miguel Almiron (52'), Diego Gomez (78'), Alex Arce (87') and Junior Alonso (90') all went into the book - USA’s Tyler Adams was shown yellow at 58'.
Paraguay pulled one back at 72', with Mauricio scoring from Julio Enciso’s assist, but USA had the last word: Gio Reyna struck at 90' to complete the highlights and confirm the final score.
