La Roja lost decisively this Friday against Uruguay at the Centenario Stadium. Marcelo Bielsa’s team excelled from start to finish with the technical cast led by Eduardo Berizzo, and left it in a questionable position at the top of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.
The coach was not able to claim his worth, and his only victories were friendlies against Paraguay, Cuba and the Dominican Republic in the national territory. Beyond these positive results, the team never showed a style of play that satisfied the fans.
The numbers also do not support the Rosario team, which in terms of results is owed. In 12 games played, Berizzo’s team has three wins, four draws and five losses with a 36% performance.
In offensive terms, this is where the team is most concerned, because in 12 games it has scored 14 goals, concentrated in games against low-level opponents, such as five against the Dominicans and three against the Cuban team.
The future torments Eduardo Berizzo
Now, the next challenge is against Colombia, where at home they have an obligation to add. In the event that the coffee growers are not defeated, Berizzo will undoubtedly be left in the doldrums, and will have to “risk his life” on the next double date.
The next opponents in October are Peru at home and Venezuela away, where in both duels Chile has the obligation to add to not fall behind its rivals. On this double date the continuation of former O’Higgins on the bench can be decided.
Chile will face Colombia next Tuesday the 12th at the Monumental stadium starting at 9:30 pm.
