Kimmich Admits Germany ‘Deserved’ Exit After Shock Loss to Paraguay

Germany crashed out of the World Cup after losing 4-3 on penalties to Paraguay following a 1-1 draw in the round of 32. Despite sitting 31 places above their opponents in the FIFA rankings, Germany looked flat. Paraguay took the lead through Julio Enciso before Kai Havertz levelled, and Jonathan Tah saw a late header controversially ruled out by VAR. In the mixed zone, captain Joshua Kimmich admitted his side “didn’t play well” and “fully deserved” elimination. Paraguay, who had never won a knockout match before, now face either France or Sweden for a place in the quarter-finals.
