The loss, Brazil’s first under coach Carlo Ancelotti, was played at 4,100 meters above sea level – one of the highest venues in international football – and the thin air and frigid mountain winds clearly took their toll on the visitors.
The only goal arrived late in the first half1
After a VAR review in the 48th minute, Miguelito calmly converted a penalty following a clumsy Bruno Guimarães challenge inside the box.
Alisson guessed correctly, diving to his right, but could not keep out the firmly struck spot-kick.
Brazil ended the final round of qualifying with their worst CONMEBOL campaign ever, finishing fifth behind Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Uruguay.
Having begun the evening in second, they slipped down the table as Ecuador and Colombia both won, and Uruguay drew.
But despite the result, Alisson did well to ensure the scoreline was not worse for Carlo Ancelotti’s men.
