Last week, the Brazilian national team missed an opportunity to improve their position in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The “Seleção” drew 1-1 with Venezuela—a result that surprised fans and analysts expecting a more dominant performance. Brazil currently sits in fourth place with 17 points, temporarily outside the top three.
A win in the next round could elevate Brazil to third place, overtaking Uruguay, though moving to second would require a stumble from Colombia, who have been more consistent recently. This autumn, Brazil performed well in their home matches. They secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Ecuador and followed it with a dominant 4-0 win over Peru.
Uruguay shocked Colombia in their most recent qualifier, snatching a 3-2 victory. This win was a breath of fresh air for “La Celeste,” whose recent performances had lacked spark. Despite the win, Uruguay remains in second place with 19 points but retains the chance to close in on leaders Argentina if the top team falters.
September and October were challenging months for Uruguay, with four matches yielding no victories or goals. They started with a goalless draw against Paraguay, where they created chances but failed to convert. The trend continued with another 0-0 draw against Ecuador despite controlling the game. This was followed by a loss to Peru and yet another goalless draw against Ecuador.
