NewsInternationals: Luis Diaz scores stunning solo goal while Alisson Becker qualifies for the World Cup
Luis Diaz scored a stunning solo goal while Alisson Becker kept a clean sheet to help Brazil secure qualification for the World Cup.
Liverpool forward Diaz put Colombia ahead in brilliant fashion during a 1-1 draw with Argentina in a qualifier in Buenos Aires on Tuesday night.
Collecting a pass to the left flank just inside the opposition half, a slaloming dribble took him past four players before he finished from inside the area.
That result means Diaz’s nation are well placed to reach next year’s tournament. A home win over Bolivia in their penultimate qualifier in September would seal progression.
Brazil, though, are already assured of their place thanks to a 1-0 victory against Paraguay in Sao Paulo, where Reds goalkeeper Alisson recorded a second consecutive international shutout and Vinicius Jr. netted decisively just before the break.
