Cuevas represented Paraguay at the 2002 World Cup, scoring two superb crucial goals in Paraguay's final group match, a 3-1 win over Slovenia. Without the two goals, South Africa would have progressed to the second round at Paraguay's expense on goal difference.

Despite the win, Paraguay failed to advance to the second round.
