World Cup Qualifiers South America

Argentina suffered a 2-0 defeat in Quito to Ecuador. Two fine goals from Walter Ayovi and Pablo Palacios mean Argentina suffer another defeat that moves them down to 4th. Ecuador are 5th. 

Colombia are 7th after a 1-0 win over Peru at home. A goal from Radamel García was enough which leaves Peru rooted to the bottom of the table. 

The Big game took place in Recife in Brazil where Brazil defeated leaders Paraguay 2-1. Salvador Cabañas had given the visitors the lead before Robinho and Nilmar ensured victory for Brazil. 

Chile are now 2nd behind Brazil after a 4-0 stroll against Bolivia in Santiago. Jean André Beausejour, Marocs Estrada and an Alexis Sánchez double secured the win.

Uruguay suffered a bad result away to Venezuela. A 2-2 draw hindered their chances of making it to South Africa. Giancarlo Maldonado gave the home side the lead before Luiz Suárez and Diego Forlán meant Uruguay were 2-1 up before Jose Manuel Rey levelled things up.
