The latest points report of the South American qualifiers: Argentina was upset, Brazil was counterattacked, and Chile was drawn
The 5th round of the South American Qualifiers will be contested. This round of upsets keeps coming. Argentina lost at home, losing 0-2 to Uruguay. Araujo and Nunez scored one goal each. Brazil also lost, suffering a 1-2 defeat to Colombia after leading by one goal away from home. Liverpool star Diaz was outstanding and scored a brace. Chile and Paraguay played 0-0, and even though Chile played one more man for a long time, they could not win the game.
Argentina is ranked No. 1 in the world and has maintained a good form after the World Cup, winning all the time, but this time it overturned at home, resulting in the end of the winning streak. The Argentine players were not at their best in this game. Although Argentina had 63 per cent possession and 12 shots on goal, twice as many as Uruguay, the quality of their shots was poor. The closest shot came to goal was Messi's free-kick, which was blocked by the crossbar. Messi made a game-high four key passes, but his teammates couldn't take them. Alvarez was in poor form, with 2 shots on target and no shots on target. Coming off the bench, Lautaro had just one shot on goal and couldn't help his team. Argentina lost well in this game, and Uruguay played well.
It would be a shame for Brazil to lose. Martinelli took the lead early for Brazil. However, Brazil's defense was relatively poor, allowing Colombia to get a lot of shooting opportunities, but Colombia didn't take advantage of the opportunity in the first half, and in the second half, he scored two goals in a row to kick Brazil into a daze. Dias was undoubtedly the best player of the game, scoring two braces from 10 shots alone, as well as two successful dribbles and five key passes. One Dias has left Brazil's backline in a mess. Brazil were without Neymar and Vinicius was substituted early due to injury, resulting in a headless fly. Brazil have won only two of their five group games and have a poor record and are in fifth place.
In the Chile-Paraguay match, Robert Rojas was sent off in the 44th minute. Chile fought for a long time with 1 more man. However, even with the numerical advantage and the home advantage, Chile has not created many chances and has not been able to tear apart Paraguay's backline, which makes people a little puzzled. Chile also sent off one man in the last minute. Chile didn't win such a game, which is too undeserved. Chile have won just one of their five league games and have a poor record.
