Giorgian de Arrascaeta scored, in the 41st minute, the goal that ensured Celeste its fourth consecutive participation in a World Cup and unleashed madness in a completely packed Centenario stadium.
The team led by Diego Alonso thus managed to qualify with a date in advance, a mission unthinkable two months ago, when La Celeste fell to seventh place in the table, after a course that cost Óscar Tabárez his position.
The sky-blues total 25 units that leave them in fourth position, safe from any pursuer since Chile (19) failed to add after being beaten 4-0 by Brazil.
On Tuesday, Uruguay will visit Chile and Peru will host Paraguay in search of a victory that will ensure fifth place in the South American World Cup, which allows them to play a playoff against fifth in Asia.
