🔥 Conmebol qualifiers: the table so far and what's next 🗓️ With Venezuela's 2-0 victory over Bolivia at the Monumental de Maturín, Matchday 15 of the Conmebol Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in Canada, the United States, and Mexico came to a close this Friday. La Vinotinto secured a crucial win against a direct rival in the race for a playoff spot, a position now held by the team led by Fernando Batista, pulling four points ahead of La Verde, coached by Óscar Villegas.

With three matchdays left, several confirmations on the road to the World Cup On Thursday night, Argentina and Chile staged a great duel at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, which ended with a narrow Albiceleste victory, thanks to a stunning goal by Julián Álvarez in the first half. This match, and this result, confirmed the superiority of Lionel Scaloni's team over the lowest-ranked rival in the table, but also over all the other teams in this tournament, as they have already been crowned winners of the Qualifiers, having built a 10-point lead over Ecuador, second in the standings. Advertisement Sebastián Becaccece's team, meanwhile, drew 0-0 with Brazil in Guayaquil, in a match with few thrills on the field and some extra excitement off it, with Carlo Ancelotti making his debut at the helm of the Canarinha. Another great match on Thursday was the one Paraguay played at the Defensores del Chaco, defeating Marcelo Bielsa's Uruguay 2-0, who are on a downward trend. Gustavo Alfaro's Albirroja extended their unbeaten streak to nine matches and won 'the mother of all battles,' as the coach put it, climbing to third place and, with Friday's results, confirming at least a playoff spot. Matchday 16 of the Conmebol Qualifiers will be played in its entirety next Tuesday, June 10. After that, the final double matchday will take place in mid-September.
