The fourth date of the Qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup Y again the accounts are not happy for La Roja. In theory, in this double day, by history, the six points should be achieved. But only half was achieved, fruit of the victory against Peru last Friday and an unexpected defeat suffered this Tuesday against Venezuela.
On the third date, the victory against the Peruvians, at the National Stadium, filled the Chilean team with security, thanks to the figure of “King” Arturo Vidal.
However, that confidence played against the team of Reinaldo Rueda in Caracas. The Colombian played with a team almost identical to the one that defeated Rimac, although with the plus of Alexis’ ownership. But it wasn’t enough and José Peseiro’s team was left with a historic three points, because they had never won at home against La Roja before.
With the result, Chile was in sixth position with only four points, outside the qualifying positions. And it is stalked by “Vinotinto”, with its first three units.
Brazil, instead, tHe has almost half his homework done. With perfect campaign, Tite’s team added its fourth consecutive victory and has 12 points, after beating Venezuela in Sao Paulo already Uruguay this Tuesday in Montevideo.
Argentina was the only escort, which added 10 points, after the draw with Paraguay and the victory over Peru in Lima. For their part, the Peruvians, led by Ricardo Gareca, suffer in the penultimate position, with only one unit.
The surprise of this third and fourth date was the protagonist Ecuador, which lashed out with everything. On the third day he traced a great game against Bolivia, and this Tuesday he humiliated Colombia with an incredible 6-1 in Quito. Gustavo Alfaro’s team added nine points and is emerging as a candidate to qualify.
Colombia, on the other hand, was left with its four points, the same as Chile has, but in seventh position, because it has a worse goal difference than La Roja.
Finally, Bolivia added its first point in the Qualifiers after drawing 2-2 with Paraguay in Asunción. The “Verde” is still bottom, while the Guarani are fourth, with six points.
The next double qualifying date is scheduled for March 2021, and in that instance La Roja will face two direct rivals for tickets to Qatar 2022: Paraguay and Ecuador.
