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

Norway ended third in the group with 18 points and got eliminated following its latest defeat. Meanwhile, Switzerland booked its berth from Group C with a 4-0 triumph over Bulgaria.
RESULTS: Netherlands 2 (S Bergwijn 84, M Depay 90+1) bt Norway 0; Switzerland 4 (N Okafor 48, R Vargas 57, C Itten 72, R Freuler 90+1) bt Bulgaria 0
