Brazil continued their so-far poor campaign in 2026 FIFA World Cup South American Qualifying with a 1-2 loss at Colombia, their second consecutive defeat in the round-robin competition. Striker Luiz Diaz scored twice on headers to lead an impressive turnaround at the Metropolitano Stadium in Barranquilla, with his father celebrating in the stands only days after being released by kidnappers. Brazil, who are in fifth position with seven points, will next host the 2022 FIFA World Cup champions Argentina at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
