Last day of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers, with four quotas defined and one still available, to go to dispute the playoff with Australia, in the middle of the year. Three selections will dispute the place, with the options in each case. Peru, Colombia and Chile are with the options, waiting for the fall of others and being able to continue with the illusion of being in the World Cup.
Of the remembered pact of Lima, where Incas and tricolors were involved, now, with crossed destinies, where they will wait for the other to fall, to leave the way clear. The stumbling block in Lima and the hope of Colombia will be Paraguay, so that the result that occurs in the National Stadium favors them.
There is much speculation on this last day, with what happened on the way to Russia, in addition, in the previous Qualifiers, with Uruguay, Argentina and Colombia, on the way to Korea and Japan and Germany.
For the Guarani, there is a memory of a duel in Lima, where they needed someone else’s result, but their own was not achieved. It was on the way to the United States 1994, where there was another format, divided into two zones. Group A was made up of Colombia, Argentina, Paraguay and Peru.
On that last day, Paraguay went to Lima, seeking to reach the playoffs and take away the quota from Argentina. Colombia gave them a hand with the remembered 5-0 at the Monumental, which took away the goal difference from the albiceleste, putting their arrival at the World Cup in danger. The Guarani, for their part, did not go beyond a two-goal tie, remaining with six units, one less than the Argentines, who entered the orbital match through the playoff door.
We will have to wait, until 6:30 pm Colombian time, for the ball to roll and the corresponding matches to be played and to know, in 90 minutes, the team that will seek one of the last quotas for Qatar 2022.
