Uruguay achieved a very important victory at home and defeated Bolivia 4:2. In this match, "Flamengo" striker Giorgian De Arrascaeta scored two goals, and after the 47th minute the score was already overwhelming, 3:0. Later, Bolivian striker Marcelo Moreno narrowed the score twice, making it 3:1 and 4:2, but ultimately there was no greater drama in this match. Meanwhile, Colombia failed to defeat Paraguay, played 1:1 and currently ranks fifth in the qualifying table for the World Cup with 10 points.
