The figure of Chile marked history in the Qualifiers. The match once morest the National Team is already beating.
Arturo Vidal might not avoid the defeat of the Chilean team once morest Uruguay (3-1) in the debut in the South American Qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. However, the Red leader scored the injury time goal and in the process equalized a Lionel Messi’s record.
‘King Arturo’ reached 34 goals with Chile, equaling Iván Zamorano in the all-time scoring chart for the lone star team.
The record that Vidal now shares with Messi is scoring a goal in five editions of Qualifiers, heading to the World Cups in South Africa 2010, Brazil 2014, Russia 2018, Qatar 2022 and Mexico-United States-Canada 2026.
Vidal was happy to match Messi, as he said that it is “another thing in history”, but he made it clear that “the most important thing is that Chile begins to add points and we qualify for another World Cup.”
In that objective, the next rival will be Colombia, which they will face on Tuesday, September 12 in Santiago. Thus, Vidal sent a warning to the coffee team.
“In this Qualifier, more than ever, home points are key. We have to get all the points to go to the next World Cup,” said Chile’s ‘8’.
Arturo Vidal assured that Colombia is a “very tough rival, the matches are always very difficult, I think the last games have been draws, so we will try to change that and hopefully we can keep those three points; We are at home and we have to make ourselves feel, the team is well and is united.”
