    Turkey 0-1 Paraguay

    If you thought this game might quieten down after the break, it hasn't.

    Abdulkerim Bardakci has just sent in a good delivery, but Turkey couldn't do anything with it.

    Since that, Hakan Calhanoglu has also hooked an effort over the bar.

    I know what he is trying to do, he is trying to come onto his right foot but he doesn't manipulate the ball and is stopped by good defending.

    Turkey are running themselves into the ground here.

    As expected, it's been more of Turkey's relentless attacking intent since the restart.

    Scotland fans here at the game, one of the most entertaining games I've ever seen. Complete chaos. Referee has lost control of the game and its showing, great entertainment value though. Number 4 from Paraguay is really riling up the opposition, what a guy. PS: security took our Scotland Flags

    The referee was so pumped up when he announced that red card by the way.

    Pure idiocy from Almiron. Put his team in a load of trouble in a game they were fully competitive in.

    Tom, Surrey

    Booked for diving in the first match, sent off for covering his mouth in the second. What a fool!

    Antony, Philadelphia

    Referee has the patience of a saint, dealing with all the teams crowding around and getting in his face. If there's a red card for covering the mouth, there should at least be a booking for harassing the ref.

    Paraguayan supporters are confident that they are well prepared and believe they will win against Turkey.

    Enrique and Estefanía shared their views before the game:

    “Turkey are a tough side, fighting hard just like us. May the best team win,” she says.

    Enrique believes the most dangerous player for Paraguay is Real Madrid midfielder Arda Güler.

    “But I’m sure our coach, Alfaro, has studied him closely and will adjust the game plan to stop him,” he says.
