<p>Paraguay have previously eliminated Brazil twice before from the competition in 2011 and 2015, both after quarter-final penalty shoot-outs, but could not produce another upset on Friday.</p>
<p>Gabriel Jesus scored the decisive penalty in Porto Alegre after Gustavo Gomez&#8217;s effort was saved by Alisson, earning Brazil their first semi-final appearance since 2007.</p>
<p>Paraguay were reduced to 10 men in the 58th minute after Fabian Balbuena was shown a red card for a foul but Brazil were denied a penalty after VAR ruled it happened outside the box.</p>

<p>The visitors did well to hold out for a 0-0 draw and had goalkeeper Allison under pressure in the first half when Derlis Gonzalez had an attempt from close range.</p>
<p>Gonzalez missed from the spot in the shoot-out, however, sending his shot wide of the goal.</p>
<p>Brazil were without injured Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho, suspended midfielder Casemiro and Everton forward Richarlison, who was ruled out due to mumps, and Tite&#8217;s men were frustrated right into the dying minutes when Everton lifted a solid chance over the bar.</p>
<p>The Selecao were saved by Willian, Marquinhos and Philippe Coutinho in the shoot-out, with Roberto Firmino failing to convert his attempt.</p>
