Roque Santa Cruz's late penalty gave Paraguay a 1-0 win over North Korea in a friendly between two World Cup-bound teams on Saturday. The Manchester City forward, who had looked off the pace for most of the match, stroked his shot high into the net after Nam Song-chol handled the ball.
Marcelo Estigarribia and Eduardo Ledesma hit the post for Paraguay while Ri Jung-il nearly turned Jonathan Santana's low cross into his own goal as the South Americans had the best of the second half. North Korea, who drew 0-0 with South Africa in their previous outing, defended tenaciously and showed flashes of skill in attack as they occasionally threatened Diego Barreto's goal.
