Matias Galarza scored 65 seconds into the game for the fastest goal at this year’s World Cup and Paraguay held on for a 1-0 win over Turkey after playing a man down for more than half the match. Paraguay was short-handed after Miguel Almiron was issued a red card late in the first half for violating a new rule banning players from covering their mouth during a confrontation. But goalkeeper Orlando Gill made several key saves to preserve the lead. The win assured the United States would win Group D and eliminated Turkey from any chance of advancing to the knockout round with its second straight loss.
