With the game almost over, Chile has failed to cause any damage to Lampe's goal. The minutes tick by agonizingly, and the score remains in Bolivia's favor. Chile is falling behind.   

Goal, goal, goal, goal for Bolivia! Chile's second and final goal came with a fine cross that Monteiros finished beautifully inside the box. The home side scored their second goal, effectively eliminating Chile from the 2026 World Cup.

Nothing for anyone! Neither team has achieved much in the second half, with a lot of substitutions and poor performance in creating danger in the opponent's half. There's still plenty to improve.

What a reflex! Villamíl was looking for the second goal of the match after a fine pass from Terceros. The player controlled it and shot powerfully at goal, but it ended up being Cortés who cleared the ball.

Another change from Bolivia, they're throwing everything at it. Rocha comes into the game looking for a strong finish, a good matchup Bolivia has put in. He replaces Diego Medina, who left after being assisted.

Two more changes for Bolivia. It was all down to Vaca and Robert Matheus, who put in a great performance with plenty of attacking attacking action. Héctor Cuellar and Moisés Villarroel are coming on looking for more goals.

Medina continues to create danger in Chile's half, gradually increasing his threat in the six-yard box, but he's unable to generate a good cross for a shot. There's still a lot of work to be done.

There's movement on the part of the Chileans, who are looking for a way to score the tying goal. It's Felipe Loyola who leaves the field after leaving everything on the pitch, and Marcelino Núñez enters the duel.

Another change for Bolivia: Villegas is looking to close the game in their favor. They want to prevent goals, maintain the ball, and target the opponent's goal. To this end, Monteiro is brought in, replacing Algarañaz, who had a good game.

Chile is shown yellow cards, Víctor Dávila faces Terceros with a serious foul, and the Chileans have a lot to correct, as they can't find a way to prevent the plays from growing.   

Chile searches but can't find the right path. It was a pass to Suazo that the referee determines is offside. Little by little, the opportunities are drying up, time runs out, and the team is left without clear opportunities.

Chile's modification for this match. The visiting team's lineup has been changed. Rodrigo Ureña comes on, Lucas Cepeda comes off, and Gareca continues to search for the ideal combination to get the equalizer.

The match was back and forth. Despite multiple attempts, neither team has managed to put the ball in the opponent's goal in the second half, and the match remains in Bolivia's favor.   

He's leaving the game! Sierralta kicked Rodrigo Echeverría hard, resulting in the player's expulsion. Now the teams are on a level playing field, with one player sent off per side.    

He's still looking! It was Miguel Terceros who was looking for the second of the match, but the defense managed to perfectly deflect that shot. It takes a lot to get that goal.     

Nothing. Chile was looking to cause damage in Cortés's zone, but after attempting to control the ball, the ball hit Alexis Sánchez's hand. The referee saw everything and ended up stopping it and canceling the rest of the play.

The second half is underway, the ball is already rolling at the Estadio de Bolivia. From the start, Chile makes three substitutions for this match. Darío Osorio, Lucas Assadi, and Benjamín Kuscevic are coming off the bench, while Javier Altamirano, Víctor Dávila, and Francisco Sierralta are coming on to look for a better generation.

Halftime. The first half concludes, with the score still 1-0 in Bolivia's favor. However, the home team is now down a man due to dangerous play. Chile will look to make further adjustments to try and tie the match.

There's still time. After the first forty-five minutes of the first half, the referee decides to add three more to the game. Both teams will look to add points to their tally in the closing stages.

They're still looking for him! It was Alexis Sánchez who sent in a very dangerous cross, then Loyola appeared and managed to hit that shot in a very dangerous way, but the ball ended up going far.

Neither team has managed to reach either Lampe's or Cortés' goal, despite their persistence. The ball only travels in the midfield most of the time. They need to improve significantly in this match.

It was Lichnovsky who enabled Bolivia to recover the ball, in the offensive zone, the Chilean brought down Algarañaz and the referee ended up stopping everything, very little of which they managed to reach the rival goal.

Little danger has been generated in these minutes; the ball never leaves the midfield, and little by little they try to go all out towards the opponent's goal, but the defenses keep these balls away, these minutes being very close.

It doesn't go in! Rodrigo Echeverría dares to shoot from three-quarters of the court. The ball traveled at high speed, but it ended up in the hands of Lampe, who managed to keep the ball out and tie the game.

Chile is starting to have dangerous attacks. Luis Cepeda is now the one who makes a dangerous run into Lampe's area. He shoots a shot that goes wide, but the ball ends up going wide without causing any damage.

Goalkeeper! A powerful shot at the visitors' goal by the home side was a dangerous shot that reached Cortés's area, but the goalkeeper leaped forward and managed to prevent the second.   

Nothing! Robson Matheus hasn't managed to get his shot in the goal. Bolivia continues to attack the goal, but Chile is already starting to gain ground and take control of the ball, and the match is very lively.

He's off! Lucas Chávez is leaving the match after reviewing the play. It's a good opportunity for Chile to try to tie the match after having the numerical advantage. A good game is coming.

VAR! The referee will review a heavy challenge by Lucas Chávez on Hormazabal. The player is in quite a bit of pain on the pitch, having been unable to recover after being knocked down for a long time. A red card could be on the way.

Play is stopped. Hormazabal is still not getting up. After a kick on the player, the referee books him for dangerous play. The defender still hasn't left the pitch. What a mess of this match.

The second is close! It's a powerful header that Arroyo tries to send towards the goal, however the ball ends up going wide and hitting the crossbar. They continue looking for opportunities in Chile's area.

However he can, Hormazabal manages to get the ball out of his area, and little by little the visiting team begins to gain strength, multiplying its presence at the back and preventing the plays from growing.

Fue muy pronto el gol de la escuadra local, Chile ahora no encuentra el rumbo para ir en busca del tanto del empate al arco de Lampe, es Bolivia quien mantiene la posesión de la redonda y busca generar más peligro en zona de Cortés.

Goal, goal, goal, goal for Bolivia! The star player has arrived! A great pass into Chile's box, Miguel Terceros stepped up to the plate. The player cut inside and fired a powerful shot into the goal, finally beating Cortés.

Ricardo Gareca gave his clarifications before the match against Chile: "Having the quality of players I have and being in these circumstances, I would never have thought or expected. But we're here. It's a discredit to Chile as a national team, and it's a prestige for my career as well."
"It hurts and saddens all of us on the national team, but we have to fight, struggle, and stand up for ourselves, and that's what we try to do with the most honest work possible."
"It's the most difficult because at another stage, you're caught younger, with all your drive and everything ahead of you. Now I'm tremendously mature, and living through this situation is very distressing for me."

Óscar Villegas told the press before this match and after the loss to Venezuela: "Beating Chile is our biggest desire today. It's our objective, and of course, getting 6 points out of 6 against Chile is what we're looking for and what can keep us in the race, especially in this fight to reach the playoffs."
"We've heard that they haven't given up on the World Cup, that by winning their three matches and hoping Venezuela and us don't score, they could gain this opportunity. So, by no means do we think they'll be an easy opponent. They'll be tough, and we'll work hard for them throughout the 90 minutes to achieve a victory."

This was the final starting eleven that La Roja presented. They will look to maintain their consistency, although there could be changes.
Brayan Cortés; Felipe Loyola, Guillermo Maripán, Francisco Sierralta, Gabriel Suazo; Arturo Vidal, Rodrigo Echeverría, Vicente Pizarro; Lucas Cepeda, Alexis Sánchez, Darío Osorio.
