Buenos Aires.-South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the USA, Canada and Mexico, have resumed. Round 7 began with victories by Argentina and Bolivia over Chile and Venezuela by 3-0 and 4-0 respectively.
In the first round, the Bolivian team defeated Venezuela with goals from Ramiro Vaca, Carmelo Algaranaz from the penalty spot, Miguel Terceros and Enzo Monteiro, who closed the rout for ‘those from the highlands’. With this result, Bolivia is partially in seventh place in the qualifying round and would be competing in a play-off for a place in the World Cup.
The match had the distinction of being played in the El Alto municipal stadium and not in the traditional Hernando Siles stadium in La Paz. This stadium is one of the highest in the world at 4,150 meters above sea level; the Colombian national team will have to play in this stadium in the next qualifying round, which will be played in October.
Argentina then beat Chile 3-0 with goals from Alexis MacAllister, Julián Álvarez and Paulo Dybala. The ‘albiceleste’, which did not have Lionel Messi in the squad, is leading the qualifying round with 18 points and will visit Barranquilla on the next matchday to face the Colombian team.
The rest of the day will feature Uruguay against Paraguay at 6:30 p.m. Colombian time; Brazil against Ecuador at 8:00 p.m. and Peru will face Colombia at the national stadium in Lima at 8:30 p.m. LR.co.
