Prediksi Swedia vs Portugal - Brazil had looked to be heading towards that mouthwatering tie with Lionel Messi's side after Robinho's goal on 14 minutes.

Having weathered the early Brazil storm, Paraguay then conceded just as they appeared to be warming to their task, Dani Alves' low cross left by Liverpool-bound Roberto Firmino for Robinho to slot home at the far post.

Paraguay's response was impressive, forcing a series of corners and Alves' subsequent duel with Edgar Benitez proved to be the defining battle for the rest of the first-half with the Barcelona man struggling to contain the Paraguay winger.

But for all their enterprise, Paraguay couldn't force a clear first-half opening, Roque Santa Cruz dragging a shot wide from the edge of the box as Brazil defended well.

Still, Paraguay were undaunted and continued to press after the break and after Alves was booked for scything down Benitez, Gonzalez almost surprised Jefferson with a whipped free-kick at his near post.
