The Paraguayan team drew 0-0 against Morocco in a demanding FIFA Date friendly match played this Tuesday in Seville, Spain. La Albirroja knew how to live up to a cast that will play the 2022 World Cup.
From the beginning, the match exhibited a high pace of play at the Benito Villamarín stadium, with a Moroccan team that put on the field its good potential of players who play in important European leagues.
La Albirroja, however, was not far behind and bet on fast attacks with an offensive quartet made up of Jesús Medina, Miguel Almirón, Derlis González and Julio Enciso. The ‘Joya’ was the most insistent with the ball, although he lacked precision in the conclusion of the attacks.
In the second half, those led by Guillermo Barros Schelotto started strongly and pressed well up front, suffocating the African exit for a good number of minutes. On several occasions the rival goalkeeper Bono, who performed well, had to intervene. The clearest was an arrival from Miguel Almirón, who with a powerful left-footed shot forced a great response from the Sevilla goalkeeper.
Then Morocco reacted, forcing the red-and-white team to withdraw and putting them in trouble. Ziyech generated the most important thing with a spectacular shot from outside the area, which crashed into the right post of an Antony Silva who had nothing left to do.
Thus, the match headed towards 0-0, with a competitive level that can give hope for what is to come for the national team.
