The end of an incredible streak. Colombia lost for the first time since February 2022

On the night of October 10 to 11, South America hosted the 9th round of 2026 World Cup qualification matches in the CONMEBOL zone, and it was a day full of surprises.

Details: The first major shock came with Colombia’s 0-1 defeat away to Bolivia. Despite playing with a man advantage from the 20th minute, Colombia conceded in the 58th minute and lost.

This ended an extraordinary unbeaten streak for Colombia, which, excluding extra time, had lasted since February 2, 2022, spanning 34 matches.

It’s worth noting that playing against Bolivia away is notoriously difficult for any team, given that the country is situated at an altitude of around 3,600 meters above sea level.

The second upset of the day was Argentina’s 1-1 draw away to Venezuela.

Reminder: Yesterday also saw many UEFA Nations League matches.
