Group B is going to be a very tricky one to predict from now on yes guys, because this result was not predicted by many. Columbia 2-0 Argentina, Paraguay 2-2 Qatar.

Qatar came from behind after being 2-0 down to pick up a very crucial point. Giving the man who hate the commentator said that it is upset.

But how can it be an upset if you are truly playing the Asian champions, that was underestimating the team from Asia. Before now all predicted Qatar to be the weeping boys in this group but then picking up a much points on game 1 was actually a good way to start. Kudos to the team.

Let's talk about the game: Asian champion versus Paraguay.

This was Paraguay 16th game at the Maracana Stadium and they have not win a single one, when it seems like they were going to break that huddle in the Brazilian stadium, it didn't happen, yes it didn't happen. Qatar fought back coming from behind to pick up a match point.

The match goals who scored by veteran striker Oscar Cardozo in the fourth minute from the sport when he converted a penalty and in the second half substitute Derlis González put Paraguay 2-0 up after he scored a scream of a goal from outside the box.

Qatar fought back and they scored at the 68 minutes through centre-forward Almoez Ali and they kept fighting and they pickup an equaliser 10 minutes later through

Boualem Khoukh which was later rule out to be an own goal.

Match Formation

The new Paraguay coach Eduardo Berizzo choose to go with a 4-2-3-1 formation. In that game Miguel Almirón(LM) was a live wire for the Paraguay's team.

For the Asian champions and 2022 World Cup host who are using this Copa America as warm-up tournament to 2022 World Cup.

Qatar coach Félix Sánchez has done a great job with this Qatar team winning the 2019 Asian Cup when no-one expected that yes no one really did. It was hosted by United Arab Emirates (UAE), I didn't have any fan at the tournament and they still won it.

In this game Félix Sánchez played a 4-4-1-1 formation with the Asian Cup top goalscorer A. Ali topping the attack.

Head to Head

This was the fourth meeting between Paraguay and Qatar. They played Three previous friendlies with one win for Qatar, 1 win for Paraguay and one match ended in a draw. We can now add this draw to the list as well.

Concussion

Qatar actually walked off the field as the happy team among the two but Paraguay walked off the field so so grief for forgiving up a 2-0 lead, because picking up maximum points in that opening match could have been a big confidence booster ahead of the next fixture. Their next fixture won't be an easy one because they will be facing a wounded Argentina on Wednesday 19th of June 2019 while Qatar takes on Columbia on the same date.
