No Major Incidents in Asunción After Paraguay's World Cup Loss

Downtown Asunción remained largely peaceful following Paraguay's World Cup match against France, with the Third Police Station reporting no significant incidents or theft complaints. Thousands of fans had congregated in the city center to watch the game on large screens, despite the national team's 1-0 defeat due to a penalty.

The atmosphere in the streets was generally positive, with many fans enjoying the team's performance throughout the tournament. Paraguay reached the round of 16 under coach Gustavo Alfaro, a campaign marked by ups and downs. Despite the large crowds, the usual concerns about petty theft, particularly of mobile phones, which often accompany such mass gatherings, did not materialize.

According to police officers from the Third Station, the only reported issue was a few individuals losing their personal documents. This contrasts with typical scenarios at large public events where minor crimes are more common. The overall lack of major disturbances suggests a well-managed or unusually calm post-match gathering for the football enthusiasts.
