News about Eduardo Vargas

Chile striker Eduardo Vargas scored a controversial goal against Bolivia after he refused to stop playing when the opposition goalkeeper went down injured. His side eventually slipped to a shock home defeat after Miguel Terceros helped Bolivia regain the lead in stoppage time at the end of the first-half. This gave them a first win in Chile in their history and a first away win in a World Cup qualifier since 1993. Both teams remain well off the pace, however, in the battle for a place at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, although the away side did leapfrog their rivals in the table, having won nine points from eight matches.
