Draw suits Paraguay fine

AFP, Polokwane
Paraguay topped Group F at the World Cup on Thursday after a drab 0-0 draw with surprise packets New Zealand.
The polished South Americans who harbour dreams of at least a quarterfinals place ended with five points and were joined in the round of 16 by Slovakia, who stunned defending cham-pions Italy 3-2 in Johannesburg.
It was a gallant exit by New Zealand, who finished unbeaten after three draws in a group where they were expected to be cannon fodder for the other three contenders but ended up finishing above
the woeful Italians.
Paraguay made three changes from the team that outclassed Slovakia 2-0 in Bloemfontein four days ago with defenders Denis Caniza and Julio Cesar Caceres and striker Oscar Cardozo coming in.
New Zealand stood by the team that started drawn matches against Slovakia and defending champions Italy with Mark Paston retained as goalkeeper although first-choice Glen Moss had completed a four-match suspension.
Victor Caceres was cautioned by the Japanese referee for fouling Rory Fallon during scrappy early exchanges with rival players constantly moaning about the behaviour of
their markers.
Captain Caniza proved an adventurous defender, coming forward twice to try his luck with shots that finished well off target, while a good Nelson Valdez run down the left flank was spoilt by a poor cross.
Goalmouth action was scarce in perfect, clear mid-afternoon conditions at Peter Mokaba Stadium during the last World Cup fixture at the purpose-built ground in the northern city.
Spectators were hoping for a better second half and clubless Simon Elliott offered early promise by unleashing a drive from outside the penalty area that did not finish far off target.
