Argentina defeated Brazil this Sunday with a goal from Luciano Gondou and eliminated the Canarinha from the possibility of achieving a place in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, and also gave a hand to Paraguay, which with a draw against Venezuela in the match background of the last date of the South American Pre-Olympic, will be the other classified.
On the third and last date of the final quadrangular, which takes place at the Brígido Iriarte Stadium in Caracas, Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil sought, without much effectiveness for 77 minutes, to harm the rival with the mutual need to get one of the places they delivers the tournament to the Paris Olympic Games.
The score threatened to stay like this, a zero to zero that eliminated Argentina and classified Brazil, but the 78th minute arrived and Gondou appeared to head the goal to the Albiceleste and, in the process, give the Olympics the classification.
The classification of the final home run was, in the absence of the match between Paraguay and Venezuela, with Argentina leading with five points, Paraguay second with four, Brazil third with three points and Venezuela, almost eliminated with one point and clinging to the hope of beating Paraguay to qualify for Paris.
The Pre-Olympic tournament, which is held for the first time on Venezuelan soil and delivers two places to Paris 2024, defines this Sunday a regional champion, a title held by Argentina.
Brazil will not be able to defend its crown
In this way, the Verdeamarelha will not have the opportunity to be in the tournament of which it is the current two-time champion, after the Golds achieved in Tokyo 2020 and Rio 2016, this without counting the Silver in the London 2012 edition, when they lost against Mexico.
This setback adds to the list of bad results that the Brazilian National Team has had in recent years against the Albiceleste, with the defeats in the Copa América Final and at the Maracaná for the World Cup qualifiers.
