One game 0-2! Let Chile get out early: South America ranked last with 10 points in 16 games, missed three consecutive World Cups

On June 11, the 16th round of the South American World Cup qualifiers began, with Chile playing away against Bolivia. Once they cannot defeat their opponents in this game, they will be eliminated early. In the end, Chile lost 0-2 and missed next year's World Cup two rounds ahead of schedule.

Before this, Chile lost 0-1 to Argentina at home, which also made them in danger and was likely to be eliminated early in the South American World Cup qualifiers. This round is away against Bolivia. Although the opponent is average, he has a home court on the plateau. The Chilean team will never dare to underestimate the opponent.

As expected, Tserros seized the opportunity in just 5 minutes of the game, and his goal also helped Bolivia lead 1-0. Shortly afterwards, the home team was sent off one person and Chile saw hope. Unfortunately, in the 55th minute of the second half, Chile's Serralta was also sent off, and both sides turned 10 to 10. Before the game ended, Bolivia counterattacked, and Montelo finally scored a goal, locking the score at 2-0.

Because of losing the game 0-2, Chile's first 16 rounds of the game, they only scored 10 points and continued to be at the bottom of South America. With two rounds left, Chile is 8 points behind the seventh-ranked Venezuela (the 16th round of Venezuela has not started before this article), which means that even if Chile wins all the last two rounds, they will not have the chance to overtake their opponents, so this South American powerhouse has to regret to bid farewell to next year's World Cup.

‌In fact, the Chilean team has fallen to its current state and will not surprise the fans at all. In this World Cup qualifier, their performance is indeed not worthy of advancing. Chile only won 2 of its first 16 games, and they are the team with the least number of wins. The reason why Chile was eliminated early has a lot to do with their lack of meeting in the youth and bad situation.

In this life-and-death battle, Sanchez continued to start and played the whole game. This 36-year-old veteran has long been in shape. He has not even scored a goal in this World Cup qualifier, but he is still the main force of the team. This is not because the head coach of the Chilean team respects the elderly, but because he can't find anyone to replace Sanchez.

After this game, Chile has missed the World Cup for three consecutive times. The last time they appeared in the World Cup was in 2014. The Chile team was also one of the strong teams in South America that year. They even defeated Argentina in 2015 and 2016 and won the Copa America championship. Later, Chile's team's strength continued to decline due to the inability to take over by young players, and eventually became the bottom of South America. This is really sad. From now on, it seems that it will be difficult for Chile to rise again in a short period of time. I don’t know how long they will have to wait for the next time they advance to the World Cup!
