With an uninspired superstar Lionel Messi, South American champions Argentina have prematurely secured their ticket to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar thanks to a 0-0 Clasico against Brazil. In the provincial city of San Juan, Seleçao, who are also already qualified as Eliminatorias leaders, shows more fight than class without the injured driver Neymar.

The inglorious highlight of the 14th matchday was a kung-fu flight by ex-Bundesliga professional Arturo Vidal during the game between Chile and Ecuador, who hit the Ecuadorian Felix Torres with the cleats in the face and after only twelve minutes Sees red. The 34-year-old from Inter Milan is to blame for the 0: 2 (0: 1) defeat of Chile, which has just sniffed the morning air after three wins.

And because the two-time world champions Uruguay also fail at 0: 3 (0: 2) in Bolivia and Colombia with a zero number at home against Paraguay, it is backing up behind Brazil (35 points), Argentina (29), now 27 games without defeat, and the surprise third Ecuador (23).

Uruguay again via detours?

For Colombia (17), which is currently fourth with the last direct ticket to the Desert World Cup, it is already the fifth game in a row without a goal, four of which ended 0-0. Uruguay’s record from the last five games is even worse: just one point and only one goal. And so top striker Luis Suarez and his Urus (16) are initially hoping for fifth place, which, like in 2002, 2010 and 2014, could bring them to the World Cup via play-offs.

There is now Peru (17), who fulfilled their duty with a 2: 1 (1: 0) in the bottom group Venezuela. But there are only two points up to eighth in the table in Bolivia. Four more laps are on the program, the next on January 27th. For Brazil and Argentina, a game that was abandoned after five minutes at the beginning of September has additional consequences. (AFP)
