Brazil and Uruguay faced each other in the match corresponding to the fourth date of the South American Qualifiers towards the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Mexico and Canada. The aroma of classic was perceived from the first movements in the mythical Centenario, which in addition to hosting the first World Cup, will also host the 2030 edition, when it will host the opening match of the international competition.
The two regional powers went out to seek victory to settle in the standings, since Venezuela’s surprise victory over Chile added a new candidate to occupy one of the places that provides tickets to the contest that will take place in the north of the continent. Furthermore, in La Celeste there was an intention to add a new feat, given that the last time they had been able to beat the five-time world champion on the banks of the Río de la Plata had been on July 1, 2001, when the Uruguayan team won by the slightest difference thanks to Federico Magallanes’ goal, during Víctor Púa’s cycle. That is, 22 years, 3 months and 15 days had passed.
Although the team led by Fernando Diniz Silva tried to take over the ball to hurt with the quick interventions of Neymar, Vinicius and Rodrygo, Marcelo Bielsa’s men came out with gritted teeth to destroy the offensive circuit of the five-time world champion. And the yellow card that Ronald Araújo earned in his first offense once morest Gabriel Jesús was a sample of the intensity that was experienced in the eastern capital.
It was before the end of the first stage, when Darwin Núñez capitalized on a great overflow on the left sector by Maximiliano Araujo and celebrated the 1-0 with a header that left . Los del Loco were enthusiastic regarding a feat before an effervescent audience that filled the mythical Uruguayan stage. The worst for Brazil happened a few moments following the local conquest, since Neymar had to leave the match on a stretcher due to an injury that caused concern for Scratch. The tears of the star with a past at Santos, Barcelona and PSG moved the spectators; and Richarlison was in charge of occupying his position in the visiting attack.
