    Second-placed Argentina qualified after Chile lost 0-2 at home to third-placed Ecuador. With 29 points and four qualifiers remaining, Lionel Scaloni’s Argentina squad cannot be overtaken by more than two rivals. Competition-leading Brazil had already secured the first of South America’s four direct entries to Qatar 2022.

    Brazil has 35 points, six more than Argentina. Both teams have completed 13 games, one fewer than scheduled because their encounter in September was suspended after seven minutes when Brazilian officials belatedly enforced COVID-19 restrictions. The FIFA is yet to decide what to do with that match.

    RESULT: Argentina 0 drew with Brazil 0
