The Qantas Young Socceroos have again been beaten 2-0 by Paraguay's U20 side in their South American tour.
The match follows on from Tuesday's 2-0 loss but this match had a different pair of scorers in Alberto Contrera who struck in the 12th minute and Miguel Medina who netted five minutes after the break.
Young Socceroos coach Jan Versleijen said the team had improved slightly on their first match but conceded there were still some things they needed to work on.
"First half there was some improvement from Tuesday's match. Our structure was better and we were more competitive. But you can't change the level of quality and skill difference between us and Paraguay in two days, you can only put the structures in place that the players learn from the match," said Versleijen.
"In some areas we really improved and a lot of other areas we need to continue to work on like the speed in which we make decisions and our pressing.
"For the players here this is a reality check. The standard of high quality international football played by Paraguay and the South American countries is a lot higher than the Youth League and also most of the competition we face in Asia.
"The challenge now is for these players to realise what you need to become a high quality international footballer and put in the work that may allow this to happen."
The Australia youngsters will now turn their attentions to Argentina's U20 team who they take on in Buenos Aires on Tuesday April 13.
