Orlando Gill Named Man of the Match as Paraguay Exit World Cup 2026

Paraguay’s World Cup 2026 run came to an end in the round of 16 after a narrow 0-1 loss to France. Despite the defeat, goalkeeper Orlando Gill walked away with the Man of the Match award for an outstanding performance between the posts. Gill made several crucial saves to keep his side in the game, but a second-half strike from France proved decisive. Paraguay fought until the final whistle but couldn’t find an equalizer. France now moves on to the quarterfinals, while Gill’s heroics will be remembered as a bright spot in a disappointing exit.
