Paraguay broke Colombia\u2019s hearts to reach a sixth successive FIFA Futsal World Cup\u2122, while Venezuela won 8-0 to secure a second straight trip to the global finals. There was also agony for Chile, who began the day top of Group A but watched other results extinguish hopes of a maiden participation on the sport\u2019s biggest stage.<\/p>\n
Anything less than victory and the Paraguayans knew they\u2019d be watching a Futsal World Cup from home for the first time since 2000. Roared on by their impassioned fans in Luque, however, Carlos Chilavert\u2019s charges left nothing to chance.<\/p>\n
Unanswered goals from Pedro Pascottini, Emerson Mendez, Francisco Martinez and Ozuna clinched a trip to Uzbekistan in September and a Futsal Copa America semi-final against Argentina in a re-run of the 2022 final, which the Albiceleste won 1-0.<\/p>\n
The Colombian players were devastated at the final whistle, several of them in tears. They had been in pole position to win the pool until a crushing 3-2 defeat to Chile yesterday.<\/p>\n

Paraguay\u2019s victory then secured the Vinotinto a Futsal World Cup return.Venezuela excelled in their first world finals three years ago, reaching the last 16 before a 3-2 loss to Morocco. Paraguay also exited at the same stage, though they did reach the quarter-finals at Colombia 2016.<\/p>\n
