Why Australia Finish Second
Australia started the night with the better goal-difference position and protected it. The 0-0 draw left them level with Paraguay on four points, but Australia's even goal difference beat Paraguay's minus-two.
The earlier 2-0 win over Türkiye became the result that carried the route. Australia did not need to chase the final match; they needed to avoid the swing that would have handed Paraguay second place.
Paraguay's Third-Place Case
Paraguay recovered well after losing 4-1 to the United States, beating Türkiye 1-0 and then taking a point from Australia. Four points is usually useful in the third-place table, but the final ranking depends on the cross-group comparison.
The draw did not give Paraguay the clean second-place route, but it did keep them alive beyond Group D's top two.
Why USA vs Türkiye Matters
Türkiye beat the United States 3-2 in the other Group D match, but that result did not move the U.S. out of first place. The United States finish on six points, two ahead of Australia and Paraguay.
That made the Bay Area draw decisive for second and third rather than for first. Australia took second; Paraguay qualified through the best-third-place table.
