Eliminatorias EN VIVO: Brasil Cede, Venezuela Sueña

The South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup took a dramatic turn on Tuesday night, with Brazil stumbling against Colombia in a tense match that ended 0-0. This unexpected draw opened the door for Venezuela, who secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Bolivia, reigniting their hopes of qualifying.

A Frustrating Night for Brazil

The Seleção arrived at the Metropolitano Stadium in Barranquilla looking to maintain their dominance in the Qualifiers. However, Colombia's defense, led by the experienced Davinson Sánchez, proved to be a formidable obstacle. Despite dominating possession and creating several chances, Brazil couldn't find the back of the net.

Neymar and Vinicius Jr. were kept relatively quiet by a well-organized Colombian defense, and the frustrating result leaves Brazil with just one win in their last four Qualifiers. While still comfortably placed at the top of the table, this draw serves as a warning that their automatic qualification spot isn't secure.

Venezuela's Resurgence

Meanwhile, Venezuela achieved a much-needed victory, fueled by the inspirational performance of Josef Martínez. The Atlanta United striker scored the only goal of the match in the 78th minute, securing a precious three points for La Vinotinto.

This victory injects much-needed optimism into a team struggling for consistency. The win against Bolivia puts Venezuela within touching distance of a coveted playoff spot, making their dream of qualifying for the World Cup a tangible possibility.

What's Next?

With the Qualifiers reaching the halfway point, the race for qualification intensifies. Brazil will be looking to bounce back in their next match against Argentina, while Venezuela faces a crucial encounter against Ecuador.

These upcoming matches promise to be captivating spectacles, full of drama and excitement as teams fight for their place in the prestigious tournament.
