Despite a goalless: the arch-rivals’ dull 0-0 stalemate in San Juan on Tuesday, Argentina joined Brazil in qualifying for next year’s World Cup in Qatar. Defeats for Uruguay (3-0 to Bolivia) and. Chile (2-0 to Ecuador) assured that Argentina, who had gone undefeated in their previous 27 matches, had booked their ticket, leaving only two automatic berths available in South American qualification with four games remaining. Argentina and Lionel Messi had a fantastic year, winning their. 15th Copa America in July with a. 1-0 triumph over Brazil in the final at Rio de Janeiro’s legendary Maracana stadium. Argentina has also qualified for the. World Cup for the 13th time in a row, having only failed to do so once before, at the. 1970 finals in Mexico.

Brazil qualified for the World Cup with a 1-0 win over Colombia on Thursday.

Argentina’s six-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi returned to the starting lineup, but Brazil’s star forward Neymar was left out.

Messi, on the other hand, was unable to inspire his squad in a game of scant chances against opponents who had already booked their trip to. Qatar with a 1-0 win against Colombia on Thursday.

Brazil leads the qualifying group by six points over Argentina, who extended their unbeaten streak to 27 games.

When Fred’s ball forced Vinicius Junior wide and his first touch went out of play, Brazil squandered a two-on-two break.

It summed up a match that never caught fire and produced hardly no smoke from either end.

Quick-thinking Matheus Cunha attempted to score the game’s first goal by chipping Argentina goalkeeper. Emiliano Martinez from inside his own half, but his effort went over the crossbar.

Rodrigo de Paul managed Argentina’s first shot on target in the final five minutes of the half, though Alisson Becker in the Brazil goal handled it cleanly.

In the first 45 minutes, Brazil had only managed one shot on goal, which was a poor effort by Fred.

In the second half, much-maligned Manchester United midfielder Fred almost became the unexpected hero, clipped the top of the bar with Martinez beaten.

There wasn’t much else to get excited about, as neither goalie was put to the test.

Even Messi’s late effort, which he jinked past Fred, was straight at Alisson.

Ecuador, meanwhile, appears to be on the verge of joining the two continental powers, sitting in third place with a six-point lead over the next team with only four games remaining.
