Brazil beat Chile 1-0 in World Cup qualifying

Everton's Ribeiro stepped off the bench to score a goal on Thursday in Brazil's 1-0 win over Chile, setting a 100% record in 2022 World Cup qualifiers. 64 minutes gave the visitor 3 points.

Brazil have won all seven qualifying matches and five-time world champion Argentina is six points behind the group of 10 South Americans.

The top four will automatically move to Qatar, while the top five will advance to the interregional playoffs. Fourth Uruguay is five points behind last Venezuela.

Preparations for the match in Brazil were shaken as several clubs decided not to release the player after returning due to concerns about an extended quarantine.

Nine players from England did not come to the team as expected and two of them were called from Zenit. St. Petersburg came to Brazil, but was called to Russia before the match with Chile.

And while Brazil can still count on Neymar, Casemiro and Marquinhos, they were the second best scoring in the first half. Goalkeeper Weverton thanked him for a series of saves, which left the game to zero.

Coach Tite introduces Ribeiro and Gerson Vinicius Jr. Bruno Guimaraes at halftime. Ribeiro justified his inclusion when he caught Neymar's save in a crowded home penalty area.

Chile has won only one of their seven matches and will play two away matches against Ecuador on Sunday and Colombia next week.

In another final match on Thursday, Peru beat Uruguay 1-1 in Lima. In the 24th minute, Renato Tapia led the home team, but five minutes later Georgian de Arascheta equalized the score with Uruguay.
