Two shots in loss
Gomez took two shots (off target), committed one foul, and earned a yellow card in Friday's 4-1 loss to the United States.
Analysis: Although he was unable to register a goal or assist, Gomez was one of Paraguay's most influential players in possession and showed the competitive edge that has made him a key figure for the national team. Paraguay's midfield was under constant pressure, forcing Gomez to spend significant stretches helping defensively rather than creating chances in the attacking third. He'll look to get more involved going forward in Friday's second group stage match versus Turkiye.
Will have key role for Paraguay
Gomez will have a prominent role in midfield for Paraguay during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Analysis: Miguel Almiron and Julio Enciso will be decisive players in the final third for Los Guaranies, but Gomez's intensity and experience in the Premier League will be key in Paraguay's midfield alongside a more defensive-minded player, either Damian Bobadilla or Andres Cubas. Gomez was a regular starter for Brighton in the 2025/26 season, making 26 starts and 32 league appearances while contributing five goals and one assist.
