Why did Chile not qualify for the 2018 World Cup?
The reigning Copa holders lost 3-0 to Brazil on the final match day, a result when combined with Peru’s draw at home against Colombia and Argentina’s win over Ecuador, saw La Roja being knocked out.
But here is an interesting little stat. Bolivia fielded Nelson Cabrera in an international matchweek against both Chile and Peru. The player had apparently represented Paraguay in an international friendly back in 2007, and Bolivia were thus docked points for fielding an ineligible player.
How did Nelson Cabrera result in Chile not qualifying for the World Cup?
Here’s the twist- in the original two games, Bolivia drew 1-1 with Chile and beat Peru. Both results were converted to 3-0 wins, meaning that Chile, who originally got one point, ended up with 3, and Peru, who got zero, also ended up with 3. If the original results had stood, Chile would’ve been in the playoffs.
How would the CONMEBOL tables look without the two Bolivia results?
