Well rounded match in win
Caceres recorded one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 victory over Turkey.
Analysis: Caceres was very impactful on both sides of the ball, using his creativity to generate a chance despite Paraguay having limited possession in the match. With Turkey holding 78% of the ball, Caceres was heavily tested defensively but led the match with 17 defensive contributions, including nine tackles and seven clearances. He was substituted in the 81st minute but played a key role in helping Paraguay preserve the clean sheet and maintain defensive stability. Paraguay enter as the favorite in their next match against Australia, which should still be competitive but provides another opportunity for Caceres to continue his strong defensive form.
12 defensive contributions in loss
Caceres made seven clearances and won five tackles in Friday's 4-1 loss to the United States. He also committed three fouls, suffered two fouls, and picked up a yellow card in the match.
Analysis: Caceres faced a demanding assignment at right back against a United States attack that consistently stretched Paraguay's defense with quick passing, overlapping runs, and aggressive wing play. The Americans seized control early and built a 3-0 halftime advantage, forcing Caceres and the Paraguayan back line into a largely reactive performance. They'll look to bounce back against Turkiye on Friday, June 19.
