June 30, 2026, 4:05 p.m. ET For a fleeting moment in extra time, powered by Jonathan Tah’s header into the back of the Paraguayan net, it looked as though Germany was surely through to the 2026 World Cup’s round of 16. But a VAR reversal — and Tah’s shootout miss minutes later — sent Germany out of the 2026 tournament in the round of 32 following a 4-3 loss on penalties to Paraguay. The defeat was Germany’s first in a World Cup penalty shootout.
