Despite the loss, Brazil had already secured direct qualification for the 2026 World Cup

p>Bolivia have made history once again, defeating continental giants Brazil 1-0 in La Paz to clinch a spot in the intercontinental play-offs for the FIFA World Cup 2026. The victory sees Bolivia leapfrog Venezuela in the CONMEBOL qualifying standings, completing a dramatic final round of South American qualifiers.

The hero of the night was 20-year-old sensation Miguel Terceros, who calmly converted a penalty deep into first-half stoppage time (45+4'), sending the home crowd into raptures and sealing a famous win for the hosts.

This result continues Bolivia’s remarkable home record against Brazil in qualifiers. While they had not beaten the five-time world champions in qualification until 1993, Bolivia have now won four, drawn two, and lost just once in their last seven home World Cup qualifying clashes with Brazil.

Despite the loss, Brazil had already secured direct qualification for the 2026 World Cup and fielded a rotated squad for the final matchday.
