The national cast won the ticket to the World Cup an hour after the end of their match thanks to the victory that Ecuador achieved as a visitor by 2 to 0 against Chile.
To Argentina It was difficult for him to find the ways to generate dangerous situations and not even the push of the 25 thousand people who filled the “Bicentennial” stadium could generate that rebellion in the usual individuals of the Albiceleste team.
Lionel Messi, who reappeared as a starter after his handful of minutes against Uruguay – a 1-0 victory – was well contained by Fabinho and just at the end he had a very clear chance that goalkeeper Allison stopped him.
La Albiceleste, with a victory, would have mathematically assured qualification to Qatar 2022 without depending on other markers, but then the help of Ecuador arrived to achieve it.
In the next double date they will face Chile as a visitor and Colombia as a home, between January 27 and February 1, 2022.
Argentina it remained with 29 units and Brazil – already classified since last Thursday – continues as a leader six points ahead and undefeated, while awaiting the resolution of FIFA for the unfinished classic in São Paulo, suspended by local health officials.
In this way, there are no longer mathematical chances that the National Team will snatch the direct ticket to Qatar 2022 when there are four dates left for the end (Colombia in fourth place and Peru, fifth, in the Repechage zone, add 17 units to the two and must face each other).
The meeting in a crowded San Juan del Bicentenario stadium had the first 20 minutes with Brazil, undefeated leaders, better planted on the field of play and with two dangerous options to open the scoring: Mateus Cunha tried from behind the midfield above Emiliano Martinez and then Vinicius Junior squandered a very clear heads up.
Lautaro Martinez He was in charge of responding for the Albiceleste in a quick free kick in which he tried to finish first, but was blocked by Marquinhos.
After the defender Nicolas Otamendi he escaped from the expulsion for an elbow that the Uruguayan referee Andrés Cunha was not called by the WHERE, those directed by Lionel Scaloni had their best option with a threaded right hand Rodrigo De Paul, that the archer Allison rejected fairly.
In addition, the game was much more locked in the midfield and injuries complicated Argentina. There were almost no shots on goal except at the end, when Argentina seemed to choose to burn the ships. Therefore, with From Paul With an enviable physical display, he was one of the most remarkable in Argentina.
Fred had the most dangerous for Brazil with a volley that hit the crossbar and Messi He had his opportunity to receive the race and be facing the goal, but his dry shot came out in the middle of the goal, where Allison was well stopped, which he contained in two halves.
Argentina closes a year that will surely be unforgettable for having returned to lift a title at a higher level after 28 years, for qualifying for Qatar 2022 and for leading 27 games undefeated under the command of Scaloni, leaving four behind Alfio Basile’s record.
