Even without Lionel Messi, left at the disposal of PSG after his Covid, Argentina does not tremble.

This Thursday, the Albiceleste, already guaranteed to play the next World Cup, went to win in Chile in the South American qualifiers (1-2).

Promoted captain, Angel Di Maria scored his first goal at Calama, with a superb curling shot from the left from 25 meters, before Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez scored the second.

Another Parisian, Leandro Paredes, played the whole match in the middle and took his contractual yellow card.

Only seventh in the continental group, the Chileans are off to a bad start to see Qatar, unlike the Uruguayans, who can hope for a fourth qualification in a row.

Uruguay can believe it

La Celeste, winner on a goal from Luis Suarez which ruined the last hopes of Paraguay (0-1), is now 4th with two points ahead of Colombia and Peru, who meet on Friday.

It was Diego Alonso's first in charge of the Uruguayan team in Asunción, after the ousting in November of Oscar Tabarez, in office for 15 years but who remained on four defeats.

The other good operation of the evening goes to Ecuador, who obtained a good draw (1-1) at home against undefeated Brazil and already qualified, but deprived of Neymar through injury.

The Ecuadorians consolidate their 3rd place, five points ahead of Uruguay.

The first four qualify directly for the World Cup, and the 5th will compete in an intercontinental play-off.
