The Bolivian football selection ended with the first three-way match against Chile, attended by the world eliminators, and was defeated 2-1 in Santiago in the round of 16 on the way to the 2026 World Cup.
La Verde has completed a sequence of 31 years without three visits facing two fast opponents that the delants Carmelo Algarañaz and Miguel Terceros achieved in the 13th minute and the 45+1, thanking the driver Roberto Fernández in two steps.
The Delantero Eduardo Vargas received himself in the 39th minute when, in a polemica, he stole the ball to the carrier Carlos Lampe, who was driven mad due to a lesion.
Bolivia expanded the repechaje zone with new puntos in September. Chile was still closest to the World Cup in North America with five points and on November 10.
The choice of high-altitude flight route is made from the first minute to escape on your own via the balloon to Chile. And at the first opportunity to counter the red.
Player Roberto Fernández reacted to his trip through a Chilean mess and had to take a temple in the penalty when Algarañaz refused to anger the Chilean defender.
Chile rejected it from the beginning, but Carlos Lampe empowered veteran Eduardo Vargas, who had left the party.
The guard received a step and stopped to hear a violation on the pier. Vargas, who is in a Bolivian metro, has left the balón and left the bow empty to receive the commission.
Lamp salió en camilla de la cancha, mientras sus compañeros encararon los chilenos por haver seguido the jugada pese a la lesion de su compañero.
But the Bolivian’s frustration turned into euphoria within a few minutes.
At a young age, while studying in Bolivian elementary school, Fernández left his gang to bring Miguel Terceros back to Bolivia.
Chile was cheered on in the second year, but after a few minutes it was desperate. Bolivia, who made a mistake every time, is dedicated to the result.
As he was leaving the party, Paraguayan referee Juan Benítez awarded a penalty to a supporter of defender Diego Medina, but the VAR disallowed it, to the frustration of the public at the Estadio Nacional de Santiago.
In the successor states of the guard Guillermo Viscarra, who had provided Lampe as an assistant, the balloons that were in the area were rejected and returned.
Bolivia then became a double because it had the most points available and gave an illusion to the cosmopolitan city. In October, the Verde traveled to Colombia, to El Alto (4,150 m altitude), and later visited Argentina.
Chile, in turn, faces the difficult task of traveling to Brazil and Santiago to travel via Colombia.
