Chile Hits Rock Bottom After 4-0 Defeat to Colombia in World Cup 2026 Qualifiers

Chile’s national team continues its downward spiral after a crushing 4-0 loss to Colombia, leaving them on the brink of elimination from the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. Under the guidance of coach Ricardo Gareca, Chile has plummeted to second-to-last in the standings, with only five points from ten matches.

Despite Gareca’s attempts to defend his strategies, the frustration is mounting among both players and fans. Midfielder Arturo Vidal did not hold back, openly criticizing the tactical decisions and leadership. Chile’s upcoming challenges look even tougher, with matches against Brazil and Colombia looming.

Following this latest defeat, Chile’s hopes of qualifying for the World Cup are slipping away, putting them in a critical position as they face a fight for survival.
