This win meant Paraguay finished in third place in Group B. When they have reached the finals, this is the first time Paraguay have failed to progress beyond the group stage since 1958. They made it to the second round in each of their last three appearances.

Comments:

This defeat meant Trinidad & Tobago finished bottom of Group B. Trinidad & Tobago have become only eighth nation who have failed to score a goal at a World Cup finals. Trinidad & Tobago's Leo Beenhakker becomes the first coach to be in charge of seven World Cup finals matches without recording a victory.
