Oscar Cardozo scored twice as Paraguay beat Athletic Bilbao 3-1 in
Spain on Wednesday.
The Benfica striker followed up on a rebound to put Paraguay
ahead in the 12th minute. Cardozo scored again when he rose to head
in a Rodolfo Gamarra cross in the 40th after Roque Santa Cruz had
beaten goalkeeper Armando Ribeiro from a tight angle.
Inigo Diaz de Cerio pulled one back for Bilbao 10 minutes
from the end.
After scoring the three first-half goals, in a game played to
raise funds for local Basque teams, Paraguay rarely looked troubled
at Bilbao's San Mames Stadium.
The South Americans are in the same group as Italy, New
Zealand and Slovakia at the 2010 World Cup.
