Round 13 of South American World Cup qualifiers has passed and surprisingly 4 of the 5 road teams won their matches. Only Argentina defended their home turf after “El Cata” Diaz scored in the 56th minute to keep Los Albicelestes in 4th place.
Brazil moved to the top of the standings with their impressive 4-0 win versus Uruguay at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo. Barcelona’s treble winning defender Dani Alves opened the scoring after his long distance shot was horribly misjudged by Uruguay keeper Sebastian Viera and found the back of the net. Brazil had four different scorers as Seleção are unbeaten in their last 8 WC Qualifiers.
Paraguay’s impressive qualifying campaign has taken a downturn after their stunning 2-0 loss at home to Chile. Goals by the former Colo Colo strike duo of Matias Fernandez & Humberto Suazo helped Chile sink La Albirroja. Paraguay has only 1 point in their last 3 matches while Marcelo Bielsa’s Chile squad have lost once in their last 6 matches taking 13 of a possible 18 points.
Venezuela and Ecuador kept their hopes alive for a play off spot with their road victories. Venezuela defeated Bolivia in the altitude of La Paz with some luck as Bolivian defender Ronald Rivero scored an own goal in the 33rd minute to give La Vinotinto an important 3 points.
Ecuador defeated last place Peru 2-1 in Lima. Qatari based striker Carlos Tenorio scored in the 59th minute to give Sixto Vizuete’s men an important 3 points. The victory ended Ecuador’s 3-game winless streak.
