Struggles in defeat
Gomez had one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 loss against France.
Analysis: Gomez played 71 minutes in a central midfield spot against France, with his performance marked by a negative impact as he committed a penalty kick before leaving the field. Other than that, he accrued defensive numbers, extending a run of four World Cup matches with multiple tackles. Still, the tournament ended for Paraguay, and he was unable to record a goal or assist. Despite playing as a winger for Brighton during most of the 2025/26 season, Gomez found himself in a more centralized role with his national team, though that position didn't allow him to exploit his offensive qualities.
Back from ban
Gomez is no longer suspended and is an option for Paraguay in the round of 16.
Analysis: Gomez had to serve a suspension in the round of 32 after two yellow cards in the group stage, but will return after Paraguay defeated Germany, set to face either Sweden ot France in the round of 16. This will be a major return for the team, as he started in all three group stage games and should immediately earn back his spot in the midfield, a versatile option. If this is the case, Damian Bobadilla or Matias Galarza will likely return to the bench.
