Bolivia Stuns Brazil: South American World Cup Qualifying Drama

In a surprising turn of events, Bolivia delivered a shocking 1-0 victory over Brazil, earning a berth in the intercontinental play-offs for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Miguel Terceros scored the decisive penalty in first-half stoppage time, pushing Bolivia past the five-time World Cup winners in the standings.

The drama unfolded further as Argentina, despite already securing a World Cup berth, fell to Ecuador with a 1-0 loss. Enner Valencia's penalty in the first half left Argentina, who played with ten men after Nicolas Otamendi's red card, unable to mount a comeback.

Elsewhere, Colombia's dynamic 6-3 triumph over Venezuela sealed their third-place finish, with Luis Suarez's four-goal performance taking center stage. The qualifying rounds concluded with Uruguay and Paraguay securing fourth and sixth places, respectively, as teams gear up for the upcoming playoffs in March.
