The matches for his qualifiers continued with great interest World Cup 2026 at Latin America.
The most… indifferent game in terms of competition was the 0-0 between Uruguay and Paraguay. However, this match was his last Luis Suarez with the coat of arms of his country. The Uruguayans rewarded the great striker for his contribution and he tearfully said goodbye to the national team with which he made history. The 37-year-old striker reached 143 appearances with the “celeste”, while he is the top scorer in the history of the Uruguayan national team with 69 goals.
It is worth noting that the main player for the home team was O Facundo Pelistri of Panathinaikoubefore being replaced in the 59th minute by Matias Olivera.

In the other matches, thanks to his goals Rodrigo at 29′, h Brazil won 1-0 against Ecuador in Curitiba and “climbed” to fourth place in the group standings with 10 pointseight less than the leader Argentina and two more than Ecuador which is in sixth place, the latter which gives a direct “ticket” to the final stage of 2026 World Cup.
Finally, in Lima, Peru and Colombia they drew 1-1. For the hosts, he found the net in the 68th minute Alexander Cullens of AEK with a nailed head. Of course, the Peruvian stopper was unlucky as he was elbowed by John Duran and left the pitch covered in blood as a forced substitution.
