Chile vs Uruguay: Arturo Vidal could not stand the threat of Ronald Araujo and made a very hard foul

The Chilean national team is looking for a victory in the first minutes of the match against Uruguay, which has found possession of the ball and some clear options for the rival goal. For this reason, several players from 'La Roja' are starting to get frustrated at not having the ball and one of them is Arturo Vidal, who went all the way down on Ronal Araujo in the South American Playoffs match for Qatar 2022.

The action took place after 18 minutes of play at the San Carlos de Apoquindo stadium. Goalkeeper Brayan Cortés pulled long, but his team was not positioned on the rival field and it was simple for the central backward 'charrua'. The one who headed was Sebastián Coates, who passed for the defender of Barcelona from Spain. The one who plays as a right back today received and saw that the 'King' arrived for the brand. He threatened and went forward, leaving with few options behind the wheel, that he only had to sweep away with everything and the Uruguayan got off in a very hard foul.

However, despite the hard foul, the referee of the match did not decide to draw a yellow card, but did warn the Inter Milan player.

CHILE VS URUGUAY

Chile still has a minimal chance to reach fifth place, although for this it will depend on a victory against Uruguay and two results, defeat for Peru and Colombia. On the other hand, the 'Charrúas' do not play for nothing after having found their direct classification on the penultimate date of the South American Qualifiers heading to Qatar 2022. However, Diego Alonso puts up a team for victory.

For this important match, those led by Martín Lasarte last week saved goalkeeper Brayan Cortes, defender Guillermo Maripán and attacker Ben Brereton against Brazil. In addition, Erick Pulgar was ruled out for having tested positive for COVID-19. Three of them will make headlines tonight in Santiago.

The San Carlos de Apoquindo stadium has mostly fans from the Chilean national team, but there are also attendees from the 'Charrúas', who expect their country to close this best qualifier to be held in Asia since November.

Chile reaches this match after a 4-0 defeat to Brazil. In this tournament he scored 5 wins, four draws and eight lost matches. The best result happened in 2021, when he beat Venezuela 3-1 at home, the goals were from Erick Pulgar and a double by Ben Brereton, a footballer who represents the 'mapochos' of the last Copa América and today he is the ninth benchmark.
