Neymar Jr. scored twice as Brazil hammered Bolivia 5-1 in South America's 2026 World Cup qualifiers on Friday. The former Brazil captain went into the game level with Pele on 77 goals and had a golden opportunity to break the record in the 17th minute when his team was awarded a spot kick. However, Neymar's penalty was easily saved by Bolivia keeper Guillermo Viscarra to keep the scores goalless.

Uruguay turned on the style, under new coach Marcelo Bielsa, as they beat Chile 3-1 in their opening South American World Cup qualifier on Friday. Argentine Bielsa, who had previously coached Chile between 2007 and 2011, opted for a youthful line-up without veteran strikers Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez. Bielsa was rewarded with an entertaining display from his new charges with River Plate attacking midfielder Nicolas de la Cruz scoring twice. De la Cruz opened the scoring with a fine left-foot strike in the 38th minute before Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde doubled the advantage on the stroke of half-time.
