At the altitude of 4,150 meters in El Alto, Brazil is losing to Bolivia by 1 x 0, this Tuesday (9), in the last round of the South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
Two factors were decisive in the first 45 minutes: the lack of coordination of the team, as only goalkeeper Alisson and midfielder Bruno GuimarĆ£es were kept in the starting lineup, and, above all, the altitude.
The ball āruns too muchā and, of course, there is a lack of air for any stronger sprint.

In the added time, Bruno GuimarĆ£es committed a foul in the area. The penalty was awarded after a VAR review. Miguelito, former Santos player, shot in the corner and opened the score for Bolivia.
With the partial victory and the draw between Venezuela x Colombia, Bolivia is reaching 20 points and moving up to the seventh position, which guarantees them a spot in the playoffs.
On the Brazilian side, the partial loss is leaving the team in fourth place with 28 points.
Simply, the worst position of Canarinho in the history of the Qualifiers.
