South American dark horses Paraguay sealed their passage to the Round-of-16 of the FIFA U-17 World Cup with a crushing 3-1 win over Turkey on the final day of Group 'B' matches at the DY Patil Stadium in Nerul yesterday. La Albirroja, who already qualified for the knockouts after winning both their earlier matches against Mali (3-2) and New Zealand (4-2), now sit comfortably atop Group 'B' with nine points from three matches, while The Crescent Stars, who were in desperate need of win, have to book the next flight back home.
