Dramatic Late Goal Secures Brazil's Victory Over Chile in World Cup Qualifier
The match between Chile and Brazil, part of the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers, was nothing short of dramatic, with Brazil clinching a last-minute win to secure three crucial points. Played at the Estadio Nacional Julio MartÃnez Prádanos, the game had an electric atmosphere, and both teams were determined to make their mark on the road to the 2026 World Cup.
Chile started the game with a bang, catching Brazil off guard with an early goal just two minutes into the match. Vargas, completely unmarked, headed the ball into the net after a perfect cross from Loyola, putting La Roja ahead and sending the home crowd into a frenzy. Chile looked confident, and Brazil struggled to find their rhythm in the first half, despite a few attempts from their forwards like Rodrygo and Raphinha. Brazil’s game was notably disjointed, and they couldn’t string together consistent attacking plays. However, just before halftime, Brazil equalized through a headed goal by Igor Jesus, keeping their hopes alive.

The second half saw Brazil dominate possession but still struggle to break down Chile’s defense. Chile remained dangerous on the counterattack, creating a few close chances, including a shot by Osorio that went just wide. Despite their pressing, Brazil found it difficult to penetrate Chile's defense, and the game seemed destined to end in a draw.
However, in the 90th minute, Luiz Henrique, who had entered the game as a substitute, delivered a moment of brilliance. He received the ball on the right side of the penalty area, skillfully dribbled past defenders, and calmly slotted the ball into the back of the net. The goal came as a crushing blow to Chile, who had fought hard to hold off Brazil, only to see victory slip away at the last moment.
With this win, Brazil boosted their chances of qualifying for the World Cup, moving up in the rankings, while Chile was left to reflect on what could have been. This result marks a crucial turnaround for Brazil, who have been under pressure after a string of poor results. The team still has work to do, but this late win will undoubtedly provide a morale boost as they continue their journey to the World Cup.
