Uruguay struggled against Chile, was defeated by Ecuador, and against Colombia drew a point at the end of the match, but that the unique "El loko" of Marcelo Bielsa is on the right track was shown by the match with the largest selection of the continent and the planet...
Uruguay defeated Brazil 2:0 at the packed "Sentario" in Montevideo and took an important step towards the 2026 World Cup.
In addition to the "madman" from Argentina, the hero of "Urus" was also a new sensation from that country, Darwin Nunes - the Liverpool striker first scored a goal with a header, and then with an unreal assist between Gabriel and Casemiro, he set up the second goal for Nicolas de la Cruz.
The party at the old and legendary stadium could have started, but Brazil is still struggling after the draw with Venezuela and the defeat against Uruguay, as well as due to the injury of Neymar, who left the field on a stretcher at the end of the first half.
And while the five-time champion of the planet is struggling, the current world champion is without error - Argentina did not concede a goal again (Kilian Mbappe beat Emilian Martinez in the World Cup final), and with two new goals from the great Lionel Messi, they defeated Peru (2:0).
The last round of the October qualifiers brought a great victory for Venezuela over Chile (3:0), so the eternal outsider of the South American qualifiers can finally dream of the World Cup.
Paraguay also triumphed against Bolivia (1:0), while Ecuador and Colombia played a goalless match.
