Messi and Soteldo sizzle, Uruguay sink Brazil

Lionel Messi made more history as Argentina made it maximum points from four outings in FIFA World Cup 26™ qualifying, while Darwin Nunez inspired Uruguay to a victory that magnified Brazil’s misery. Elsewhere, Yeferson Soteldo was unplayable as Venezuela eased aside Chile to leap into fourth, Paraguay pocketed their first win of the campaign, and Ecuador and Colombia played out an entertaining but goalless draw.
