World Cup 2010 Group F: Slovakia 0-2 Paraguay

Table of Contents

Goals in each half from Enrique Vera and Cristian Riveros were enough to give Paraguay a 2-0 win over Slovakia and leave them well-placed to qualify from Group F.

Paraguay dominated the first half and it was no surprise when Vera broke the deadlock with a composed finish shortly before the half-hour mark.

And Riveros made the game safe four minutes from time with a crisply struck drive from the edge of the box.
