Darwin Nunez makes two, and Uruguay defeats Bolivia in the Eliminatórias.

The sky blue won three consecutive games, including wins over Argentina, the incumbent world champions, at the Bombonera in Buenos Aires.

Brazil has never lost to Uruguay in their previous four qualifying matches. As visitors, they had never beaten Argentina. Since then, the plot has shifted.

Bolivia came in this position after winning their first three points against Peru at home, 2-0. Antonio Carlos Zago, a Brazilian-born coach who had just joined the team, was making his first appearance.
