Coach Ricardo Gareca is under pressure as La Roja's hopes of qualification hang by a thread, making this a must-win encounter to keep their slim playoff chances alive.
The match is underway in this crucial World Cup qualifier, with Chile kicking off against Bolivia. All eyes are on Esteban Ostojich, who takes charge of proceedings. Both teams know the stakes, and an intense battle is expected right from the first whistle.
Bolivia take an early lead! In a swift attacking move, Diego Medina picked out Miguel Terceros, who made no mistake with a superb left-footed strike from the center of the box, sending the ball into the top left corner to make it 1-0 against Chile.
Bolivia continues to press forward with intent. Robson Matheus tries his luck from outside the box, but his left-footed effort is blocked by the Chilean defense. Moments later, Lucas Chávez follows up with another strike from distance, this time with his right foot, but it's also deflected, with Diego Arroyo providing the assist. Relentless pressure from the hosts early on.
Bolivia nearly doubled their lead in the 13th minute of the game after a well-delivered corner found Diego Arroyo, who rose above the Chilean defense and powered a header toward goal, only to see it rattle off the crossbar. A let-off for Chile, who will now restart play with a goal kick.
A moment of high drama unfolded midway through the first half. In the 15th minute, Lucas Leonidas Chavez Cruz (Bolivia) went in with a reckless and dangerous tackle, initially escaping with just a yellow card.

Bolivia keeps pushing forward with intensity, but Robson Matheus misses a clear chance to double the lead.

Moments later, a thunderous shot from the home side looked destined for the net, but Chilean keeper Cortés pulled off a superb save to deny Bolivia a second goal.
The game has settled into a tight midfield battle, with neither side creating clear chances as both defences stand firm.

On the other side, Chile responded with two substitutions of their own, as Ricardo Gareca brought on Marcelino Núñez for Felipe Loyola and looked for a spark from VÃctor Dávila, who nearly latched onto a long ball, only to be denied by a sharp interception from Bolivian goalkeeper Carlos Lampe. Meanwhile, Alexis Sánchez tried his luck from distance, but Lampe remained untroubled with a routine save.

Moments later, Gabriel Villamil unleashed a powerful low strike from the edge of the box, destined for the bottom right corner, but Cortés reacted brilliantly, diving to his right to make a crucial save. The effort earned Bolivia another corner, keeping the pressure firmly on Chile in the closing minutes.
Goal for Bolivia! Enzo Monteiro seals the result with a composed left-footed finish from the center of the box, slotting the ball into the bottom left corner after a rapid counterattack. The move stemmed from a well-executed cross that found Monteiro in space, and he made no mistake. The goal all but ends Chile바카라™s hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
