Round 14 of South American qualifying is over and it looked like 4 sides would pull away from the rest of the teams in the race for the automatic CONMEBOL spots. However, Ecuador said "I don't think so" after they thoroughly dominated Argentina in Quito winning 2-0. Walter Ayovi's Golazo in the 72nd minute broke the game open for Ecuador. Argentina squandered a number of opportunities to equalize and take the 3 points including a Carlos Tevez PK that was saved by Ecuador keeper Marcelo Elizaga. Ecuador is unbeaten in their last 4 qualifiers taking 8 of 12 points to leap over Uruguay into 5th place.

Speaking of Uruguay, they couldn't rebound from that devastating 4-0 home loss to Brazil as Las Charrúas drew 2-2 on the road against Venezuela in Puerto Ordaz. Jose Manuel Rey's 74th minute goal equalized for La Vinotinto and ended Uruguay's chance to recoup 3 points. The result sent Oscar Tabarez's men into 6th place as Las Charrúas have only 1 win in its last 7 qualifiers.

Chile continued its impressive climb up the table with its 4-0 win against Bolivia in Santiago. Ex-Colo Colo & River Plate wonder kid Alexis Sánchez scored twice late in the 2nd half to embarrass the Bolivians and pretty much eliminate them from South Africa 2010. La Roja are unbeaten in their last 5 matches taking 13 of 15 points to move into 2nd place just 1 point behind leaders Brazil.
