2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers CONMEBOL: Brazil thrash Chile 4-0

Brazil has thrashed Chile 4-0 in the FIFA World Cup Qualifier game that took place at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Brazil is unbeaten in the World Cup Qualifiers CONMEBOL so far.

The country has already qualified for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Chile on the other hand are currently 3 three points behind the Top-4 automatic qualification places. 

The first half ended with Neymar & Vini Jr scoring for Brazil in the dying minutes of the first half.   

Meanwhile, Uruguay and Ecuador secured their spots at the World Cup finals on Thursday, joining Brazil and Argentina as the automatic qualifiers from the South American group.
 

Uruguay beat Peru 1-0 and Ecuador lost 3-1 to Paraguay, meaning both teams have 25 points with one match to play. Peru are on 21 points in fifth place.
 

Peru, Colombia (20 points) and Chile (19) will now vie for fifth place and a playoff spot against a team from the Asian confederation.
 

Peru host Paraguay, Colombia travel to Venezuela and Chile are at home against Uruguay on Tuesday in the final round of games.
 

Uruguay earned the win over Peru thanks to Giorgian de Arrascaeta`s goal three minutes before half time. Peru were adamant a late looping shot held by Uruguay keeper Sergio Rochet had crossed the line but the referee waved away their claims for an equaliser.
 

Peru`s defeat meant Ecuador qualified regardless of their result in Paraguay and they were overrun by the home side, who gave coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto his first win since he took over in October last year.
