goal. In the third minute of the match, Paraguay captain Carlos Gamarra headed in an own-goal. He headed David Beckham's free kick past Paraguay goalkeeper Justo Villar. Minutes later goalkeeper Villar hurt his right calf and was replaced by Aldo Bobadilla. In the first half, England dominated the game. But in the second half, the team lost its grip over the game. Paraguay got one opportunity to score a goal but

it missed on it. The opportunity came when England goalkeeper Paul Robinson punched Carlos Bonet's cross back into play. Carlos Paredes could not hit it on target and volleyed the ball over the goal. On another occasion in the first-half injury time Nelson Valdez's shot went wide. England too missed chances in the

first-half on two occassions. On one occasion Bobadilla parried a long-range shot by Frank Lampard. Beckham hit an effort wide. Michael Owen was replaced by winger Stewart Downing in the 56th minute. Joe Cole was substituted by midfielder Owen Hargreaves of Calgary. In the 68th minute, a third forward Nelson Cuevas was brought in by Paraguay. England coach Sven-Goran is happy with the three-points the

team has in its kitty. Paraguay coach Anibal Ruiz is hopeful that his team will make it to the second round.
