Brazil (31 points) and Argentina (25), who extended their unbeaten streak of matches to 25 in the Lionel Scaloni era, slip away from the standings with no threat in sight and are losing sight of the rest of the squad with Ecuador (17) in front but very far from the two South American powers.

With a 3-0 win over Venezuela, Chile advanced to sixth place in the World Cup, with 13 points, still outside the qualifying zone, but in full escalation and with room to disturb several selected teams.

At the beginning of the day, Bolivia made the most of its only option to continue in the race: it beat Paraguay 4-0 in La Paz (at 3,600 meters above sea level) and displaced its rival from seventh place with 12 points, still raising hopes far from ranking.

Paraguay was nailed in the same score (eighth for fewer goals in favor) that after the defeat in La Paz suffered the dismissal of its coach, Argentine Eduardo Berizzo.

Neymar, with all the lights

The leader Brazil, with an unstoppable Neymar, extinguished the tenuous doubts that arose in the previous 0-0 match against Colombia on Sunday, when he stopped the number of consecutive wins in the tie at 9, and once again exhibited his best version to extend their undefeated streak at home in qualifying history.

In hot Manaus, Neymar opened the account at minute 10 and then made everyone play with assists for the double of Raphinha (18, 58) and Gabigol (83) in a high-level demonstration of the Paris Saint Germain striker against a Uruguay that was hopeful for the discount of Luis Suárez (77), but it was only a fleeting illusion.

Uruguay is in the doldrums after the defeats received from Brazil and the previous date from Argentina (3-0), its historic rival.

Coach Oscar Tabárez appealed, without success, this Thursday to the pair of historic gunners Suárez and Edinson Cavani, who at no time were able to plant a flag against Brazil to reverse a nosedive.

Argentina suffered with Peru

Argentina got rid of a tough nut to crack as Peru is historically with a header from striker Lautaro Martínez at minute 43 and continues its nonstop march towards the 2022 World Cup.

The hubbub of the coffee growers turned into general dismay in the Barranquilla stadium when Haro scored the foul and moments later the end of the match.

Minutes earlier, another VAR intervention corrected a penalty for Ecuador that had been sanctioned by Haro.
