Chile 0-0 Uruguay, FIFA World Cup CONMEBOL Qualifiers: La Roja Held To Goalless Draw In Wasteful Performance
Chile and Uruguay played out a goalless draw at Estadio Nacional Julio Martinez Pradanos in Santiago in their final FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers match. Uruguay, already assured of their place in the World Cup, were cautious in the away fixture, failing to find a breakthrough despite fielding almost a full-strength squad, including Federico Valverde and Darwin Nunez. Chile, however, had several chances to take the lead, including a point-blank header that sailed wide, but couldn’t capitalise. As a result, La Roja finished bottom of the standings, with just two wins and no goals in their last five games.
