A stoppage-time winner from Martinelli<\/a> sends the ‘Sele\u00e7\u00e3o’ into the quarter-finals, while Paraguay<\/a> pull off the first great miracle by knocking out Germany on penalties in a frantic Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Ancelotti and Martinelli rescue Brazil on the brink<\/p>\n

The world sports press is saying it with one voice: Brazil suffered enormously, but they are through to the round of 16 after a dramatic comeback against Japan<\/a> (2-1).\u00a0Newspapers such as Marca and As highlight the ‘Sele\u00e7\u00e3o’s’ struggle, as they sealed qualification in the 95th minute thanks to a goal from Martinelli.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

In Italy<\/a>, Corriere dello Sport and Quotidiano Sportivo put the success down to the head coach, with headlines such as “Carlo the Magician” and “Brazil at Ancelotti\u2019s feet”, praising how his second-half changes turned around a match that had become extremely difficult after Sano\u2019s early goal.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"Paraguay bring down the German giant on penalties<\/p>\n

The tournament\u2019s biggest shock has been delivered by Paraguay. Argentine newspaper Ol\u00e9 leads with a bold “GILLGIANTS”, praising the heroics of Paraguayan goalkeeper Gill in a nerve-shredding penalty shootout (4-3 after a 1-1 draw).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While Mundo Deportivo describes the result as the tournament\u2019s “first major upset”, in Germany the Berliner Morgenpost reflects the huge national disappointment with a blunt headline about their team\u2019s early exit against Gustavo Alfaro\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"Spain<\/a> tune out the noise with Austria<\/a> in mind<\/p>\n

With the World Cup thrown into chaos by a string of upsets, the Spanish national team<\/a> are keeping their feet on the ground ahead of Thursday\u2019s crucial clash. Sport gives centre stage to Eric Garc\u00eda, who warns of the danger posed by a tricky opponent: “Austria are going to be extremely tough.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Along the same lines, Mundo Deportivo highlights comments from goalscorer \u00c1lex Baena, showing that Luis de la Fuente\u2019s dressing room is fully focused and steering clear of any overconfidence.<\/p>\n
