Brazil suffered their first-ever World Cup qualifying defeat
Bolivia made football history by becoming the first nation to defeat Brazil in a FIFA World Cup qualifier, ending the Seleção's unbeaten record after 31 previous qualifying matches. Roared on by a passionate crowd at La Paz's Estadio Hernando Siles, the hosts secured a famous 2-0 victory through late goals from Marco Etcheverry and Álvaro Peña. The result helped Bolivia qualify for their first World Cup in 44 years, while Brazil recovered to qualify before lifting the World Cup trophy in the United States the following summer.
