Paraguay through on penalties

Oscar Cardozo stroked the winning penalty in after Komano had missed with Japan's third penalty.

The game was a largely forgettable affair with both sides reluctant to go forward and poor finishing upfront.

Extra time was slightly more exciting although goalscoring chances were few and far between.

Paraguay now play the winner of the all-Iberian clash between Spain and Portugal which will be played later tonight at 2030.
