Lionel Messi scored twice in Argentina’s 2-0 win over Peru to top the South American 2026 World Qualifying table. The 36-year-old appeared fit after he had been sidelined for some weeks due to muscular pain, ruling him out of critical games for Inter Miami. The captain seemed back to his best, firing his country to the top of the group with 12 points from four matches played. Rivals Brazil suffered a 2-0 defeat to Uruguay, ending a 37-match unbeaten run in qualifying, while also losing star player Neymar to injury. No win in two for the Selecao sees Fernando Diniz’s team fall five points behind their continental rivals. The win for Uruguay sees them go level on points with Brazil, with the top six teams qualifying automatically for the World Cup in North America. Two more rounds of qualifying will take place in November, with Brazil and Argentina facing off at the Maracana Stadium on the 21st.
