Giménez scores first international goal in 1-0 Paraguay win over Venezuela

Chicago Fire midfielder Gastón Giménez scored his first international goal on Tuesday night for Paraguay, an 85th minute match-winner that secured a 1-0 victory for La Albirroja at Venezuela's Metropolitano de Merida Stadium.

Making a delayed run into the Paraguay 18-yard box, Giménez emphatically finished off a feed from teammate Alberto Espínola with a left-footed blast past goalkeeper Wuilker Fariñez. The goal gave Paraguay the first win of their CONMEBOL 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifying campaign, putting them in second place behind Argentina on four points after two matches played.
