JAKARTA - Brazil fell in the CONMEBOL 2026 World Cup qualifying match. In the duel at the Centenario Stadium, Wednesday, October 18 morning WIB, Uruguay successfully beat Brazil 2-0. Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez also brought Uruguay to second place.

Brazil picked up disappointing results in two qualifying matches. After a 1-1 draw against Venezuela, Brazil has now lost points during their big match against Uruguay.

Selecao's achievements are clearly not in accordance with expectations. Moreover, the team is strengthened by the best players who almost all play in Europe.

In this duel, interim coach Fernando Diniz fielded a row of goals hungry forwards. How not, Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus became the spearhead. He received support from Vinicius Junior, Neymar and Rodrygo.

While in the middle there is still Casemiro, an experienced midfielder. Behind, Marquinhos and Gabriel Magalhaes are also highly relied on to fortify Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson.

However, Brazil failed to keep up with Uruguay which showed the best play at home. Both teams took turns attacking.

But they failed to penetrate the opponent's defense. In addition, poor finishing made Uruguay and Brazil unable to score goals.

Nunez finally broke the deadlock towards the end of the first half. The Liverpool forward managed to welcome Maximiliano Araujo's assist to beat Ederson. The 1-0 score for Uruguay lasted until the end of the first chapter.

Brazil tried to bounce back in the second half. Especially after Richarlison entered to replace Neymar who had to be withdrawn due to a knee injury.

However, the duo duo of North London clubs, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, have yet to penetrate Uruguay's defense. Jesus, who is the mainstay of the Gunners, has not moved to face the duo of Ronald Araujo and Sebastian Caceres.

On the other hand, Uruguay managed to add a goal in the 77th minute. Nunez played a role in the goal creation process by providing an assist that Nicolas de la Cruz completed. Score 2-0 for Uruguay and survive until the end of the match.

The victory over Brazil led Uruguay to second place with point seven. The same as Brazil, which fell to third place because they lost on goal difference.

Not only losing, Brazil lost Neymar who returned to a knee injury. The former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star who is now playing at the Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal has suffered several injuries in the same section. The injury forced him to miss for quite a long time.
