After a 25-game unbeaten run, Argentina suffered their first defeat in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The Albiceleste were defeated at home by Uruguay with a score of 0:2. A match with a very hard-fought pace, where tensions were not missing.
In the 20th minute after a given foul, Rodrigo de Paul offended Cristian Olivera, while the latter did not spare his nerves. Not only them, but also Messi, who entered to separate the pair, was seen tense, while putting his hands on the opponent's throat.
When the game resumed, the locals were more demanding. After many attempts, Araujo put his friends ahead just before the end of the first half.
The second faction also had the same story. In the 87th minute, Darwin Nunez left his signature and secured the victory.
Despite the defeat, Messi's Argentina remain at the top of the table with 12 points, two more than second-placed Uruguay.
Brazil were toppled by Colombia in a crazy match. The Selecao scored from the start with Martinelli, but the celebration lasted only in the first half. In the second fraction, the Colombians increased the pressure and within 4 minutes they overturned everything.
The absolute protagonist of the match was Luis Diaz who gave the team victory with his two goals. After this success, Colombia is in third place with 9 points, 2 more than Brazil in fifth place. (A2 Televizion)
