- Como locales, vencieron a Ecuador y Chile por la mínima
- En Asunción, emocionante empate entre Paraguay y Perú
- Este viernes juegan Colombia - Venezuela y Brasil - Bolivia
EL RESUMEN DE LA JORNADA. La primera fecha de las eliminatorias sudamericanas para la Copa Mundial de la FIFA Catar 2022™, aún con sus matices, estuvo a la altura de las expectativas.
En primer turno, Paraguay y Perú sellaron un emotivo 2-2 en Asunción. La visita lo ganaba con gol de André Carrillo, pero los dueños de casa lo dieron vuelta con dos tantos de Ángel Romero. El propio Carrillo, sin embargo, sentenció el resultado a 5 del final.
Un rato después, Uruguay cosechó un triunfo clave al vencer en tiempo de descuento a Chile por 2-1. La Celeste se adelantó en el primer tiempo gracias a un tanto de penal de Luis Suárez, pero Alexis Sánchez estableció el empate transitorio al promediar el complemento.
Cuando todo hacía suponer que el encuentro terminaría igualado, Maximiliano Gómez recogió un rebote en la puerta del área y le dio la victoria a los charrúas.
En el último duelo del día, Argentina le ganó con lo justo a Ecuador por 1-0. El tanto tempranero de Lionel Messi, de penal, y una correcta actuación defensiva, le alcanzaron a la Albiceleste para sumar tres puntos de esos que pesan al final del camino.

🔢 Números que hablan...
Lionel Messi se convirtió en el primer futbolista argentino que anota goles en cuatro clasificatorios mundialistas distintos. Hasta aquí, había marcado 4 en las eliminatorias para Alemania 2006, 10 en las de Sudáfrica y 7 en las de Rusia 2018. Además, es también el primero de su país en disputar 5 ediciones de la competencia preliminar mundialista.
Luis Suárez marcó el primer gol del clasificatorio sudamericano y suma 60 con Uruguay. Además de ser el máximo goleador histórico de Uruguay, el Pistolero es junto a Lionel Messi el máximo artillero histórico de las eliminatorias con 22.

Tras reemplazar a Hernán Pérez a los 63', 18 fueron los minutos que le llevó al paraguayo Ángel Romero anotar sus dos goles ante Perú, la misma cantidad que había marcado en sus primeros 16 partidos con la Albirroja. Lo curioso es que tres de esos esos cuatro tantos se los marcó al seleccionado peruano.
Es la cantidad de partidos que lleva Perú sin perder como visitante por las eliminatorias sudamericanas, con 2 victorias y 3 empates. Su última derrota data del 11 de octubre de 2016, cuando perdió con Chile en Santiago por 4-1.

De los 44 goles que lleva el chileno Alexis Sánchez con su selección, seis se los ha marcado a Uruguay, más a que ningún otro rival. El Niño Maravilla alcanzó los 15 tantos por eliminatorias, igualando en el tercer lugar de la tabla histórica a Diego Forlán, Edinson Cavani, Felipe Caicedo y Jefferson Farfán.

¿Sabías que...?
Cuando el árbitro sancionó el penal a favor de Argentina, Lucas Ocampo se acercó a Messi y le preguntó: "¿Vas vos, no?". La Pulga no pareció sorprendido, le contestó que sí y convirtió pateando a la izquierda de Alexander Domínguez, que llegó a tocar la pelota pero sin la fuerza necesaria para desviarla.
