Spain 1, Paraguay 0

Spain controlled possession once again as it picked up a late winner from David Villa, who is the tournament's top scorer with five goals. Spain has averaged 59.6 percent possession through five matches, best in the tournament, and has completed 2,687 passes at this World Cup, seventh-highest since the stat was first tracked in 1966. However, Spain has scored only six goals, the fewest by any team with at least 2,600 passes completed at a World Cup.

• Spain completed 355 more passes than Paraguay, the sixth-highest difference since the stat was first tracked in 1966. Spain has posted three of the top six differentials since 1966 at this World Cup (3rd: 415 vs. Switzerland, T-4th: 382 vs. Chile). Spain is averaging 537.4 passes completed per match, second-highest average at a World Cup since 1966, behind only Colombia in 1994 (579.3).

• Villa's match-winning goal in the 83rd minute was the latest that Spain has gone ahead for good since Joaquin Peiro scored a 90th-minute winner against Mexico in 1962. Villa has three game-winning goals, the most of any Spaniard in World Cup history.

• Paraguay completed 140 of 233 passes (60.1 percent), and the passes completed and completion percentage are fourth-lowest in a World Cup match since 1966. Paraguay completed 55 passes in the opposition half, tied with Serbia in 2006 for third-fewest in a World Cup match.

• Spain controlled 64.4 percent of the touches in this match, the fourth time in this tournament that La Furia Roja have controlled more than 60 percent of the touches. No other team has done that since the stat was first tracked in 1966.
