There are a few hours left for the start of the last matchday of the Qatar 2022 qualifiers. While the four direct qualifiers for the next World Cup (Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, and Uruguay) are already known, the team that will go to the playoff and face a team from the Asian continent is still unknown. At the moment, the Peruvian team is in fifth place (21 points). However, Colombia (20) and Chile (19) also have chances in this last match.

- Follow here minute by minute the Peru vs. Paraguay match for the closing of the Qatar 2022 qualifiers.
In that sense, the eyes of all South American fans will be focused on three key matches: Peru vs. Paraguay; Colombia vs. Venezuela, and Chile vs. Uruguay. While the three mentioned teams have possibilities to grab the half spot, Ricardo Gareca's team has better chances, not only because they have a better score but also because they play in Lima against an already eliminated team with key absences.
Venezuela vs. Colombia will also be another match to closely follow. The Coffee Growers will visit the Vinotinto at the Cachamay Stadium in Puerto Ordaz. The Vinotinto, who recently suffered a heavy defeat against Argentina (3-0), have managed to earn points at home with coach José Pekerman. The Colombian team will have to win three points and hope that Peru and Chile tie or, in the best case scenario, both lose. That way, they would enter the playoff.

Although the Celeste team has already qualified against the Blanquirroja, they hope to earn points in their visit to Chilean territory to take the third place from Ecuador.
The schedule is completed with the matches between Bolivia vs. Brazil in La Paz and Ecuador vs. Argentina in Guayaquil. The Canarinha wants to consolidate themselves at the top of the Qatar 2022 qualifiers table, while La Tri hopes to celebrate the World Cup qualification with a home victory.
