There’s no tomorrow. The Chilean National Team will seek this Saturday to get into the quarterfinals in the Copa America 2024. To do this, he is obliged to win in his last match for Group A, against Canada in the city of Orlando.

Currently the numbers make the team’s options too complicated. Ricardo Garecaas they are in third place with one point in two gameson equal terms with Peruwho is only surpassed by not having red cards.

To the regret of the national fans, The Red It does not depend on itself to be able to get into the quarterfinals of the Copa América. For the same reason, in RedGol We once again turn to our faithful friend, the calculatorto explain with apples and pears how we can move forward. There are hopes!

What does Chile need to qualify for the Copa América?

The simplest equation It is the one that, on paper, seems to be the most logical. If he Everyone’s Team beats the Americans, and Peru fails to beat Argentinain the parallel duel that will be played in Miami, is already in the next phase.

Since we are bad-minded, we must resort to the least logical explanationbut very possible. If we take into account that the Albiceleste will come out with an alternative team against The Bicolorthe chance of them winning is very likely. If that happens, attention!

If Peru wins, Chile needs:

• Beat Canada by a greater number of goals in favor than those scored by the Incas.
• And the most important, avoid at all costs an expulsion. Well, if everything is equal in points, goal difference and goals in favor, the factor Fair Play will be valid.

Now, a defeat or a draw with Canada, immediately eliminates us from the Copa America. Bluntly. For the same reason, there is only one score that will allow us to continue dreaming of getting among the eight best teams in the continental event.
