PARAGUAY HAVE WON IT! GONZALEZ! He scores his second spot-kick of the game, smashing it into the right side! Jefferson dived left, and Brazil are knocked out!
COUTINHO KEEPS HIS COOL! Rolled into the corner with Villar diving out of the way, and Brazil are still alive!
EVEN WORSE! Santa Cruz trumps Douglas Costa with a field-goal of a kick. Still not as bad as Murillo though.
DOUGLAS COSTA MISSES! Too high, and Paraguay can smell it now! Terrible penalty, leaning back, and well away from goal.
BOBADILLA WITH A STUNNER! Another drilled effort from Paraguay, and he gets it into the postage stamp, with Jefferson unable to keep it out!
MIRANDA SENDS VILLAR THE WRONG WAY! Confidently placed low into the corner.
CACERES RIPPLES THE NET! Another powerful effort right down the centre. Once again, Jefferson guesses wrongly and dives away from the shot. Paraguay lead 2-1.
RIBEIRO MISSES! An elaborate wind-up but he places it wide of the bottom corner.
MARTINEZ REPLIES WITH A THUMPER! Hard down the middle, and Jefferson dives out of the way.
FERNANDINHO BLASTS IT HOME! Villar gets a touch but it's too strong for him!
Penalties again between Brazil and Paraguay. If they even score once, it will be an improvement on their 2011 showdown, where the Selecao missed all four of their attempts in the shootout against these same opponents. La Albirroja have already scored once from the spot tonight too.
Both teams gather to go through their plans for penalties. All eyes on Jefferson and Villar here. I've got to say that it would be a more cruel on Paraguay if they were to be eliminated in this fashion - they've been the superior team throughout this contest.
