The Liverpool No.7 featured for 110 minutes of Monday’s tie in Boston, where the two teams played out a 1-1 draw after both normal and extra-time.
Paraguay had broken the deadlock via Julio Enciso’s header shortly ahead of the half-time break.
However, the game was levelled in the 54th minute with the help of Wirtz as his flighted delivery from deep into the area saw Kai Havertz respond with a header of his own.
In extra-time, Jonathan Tah’s goal at a Germany corner ball was ruled out by VAR, meaning penalties were needed to find a winner.
Paraguay claimed a 4-3 victory in a back-and-forth shootout to take the place in the last 16.
