European champion Spain has fielded an unchanged lineup for the third straight game as it attempts to win a World Cup quarterfinal match for the first time against Paraguay.
Coach Vicente del Bosque stuck with misfiring striker Fernando Torres up front alongside David Villa, who has scored four of Spain's five goals to be joint-leading scorer in South Africa.

The winner will advance to a semifinal against Germany, which crushed Argentina 4-0 earlier Saturday.

While Spain stuck with the same lineup, Paraguay coach Gerardo Martino made six changes from the team that advanced on penalties against Japan, including dropping Manchester City striker Roque Santa Cruz.
Paraguay, playing in its first quarterfinal, hasn't conceded a goal since its opening 1-1 draw against Italy.
Spain has never lost to Paraguay in three previous meetings, winning once and drawing twice.
