In this way the Ecuadorians lead the positions with 10 units and a goal difference in favor of Brazil, which has the same number of points. Then there is Argentina with 7 and behind Venezuela with 6, all already qualified for the World Cup which will be played in November with venue to be defined after FIFA deprived Peru of this possibility for infrastructural reasons.

The anger of those led by Placente was with the referee squad, which deliberately tilted the pitch in several key actions of the match. One of the most discussed was the tremendous elbow that Arroyo gave to Gorosito and that meant no card for the Peruvian Roberto Pérez.

Also towards the end, assistant 2 Coty Cabrera penalized a great forward position in a game that could have meant an equalizer for Argentina.
