And the 'Santiago covenant'? The false agreement that tried to spread fear prior to Peru's victory in Lima

There was never such an agreement. The Uruguayan team won 2-0 against Chile on the road and left it without options for the repechage for Qatar 2022.

A few days before the match between Chile vs Uruguay is played for the last date of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers, a Chilean media outlet began to rumor about an alleged Santiago pact that wanted to leave the Peruvian national team out of the repechage. However, this never happened because Peru beat Paraguay 2-0 at the National Stadium and 'La Roja' fell for the same result to the 'charruas' in Santiago. The information was false and I only wanted to spread fear in the Peruvians who crowded the national precinct to encourage the 'Blanquirroja'.
