The Betic goal Claudio Bravo has reappeared this past dawn in an official match with the selection of Chile in the 2-0 win over Peru (goals both from Arturo vidal) that returns the qualification options to the Chileans for the Qatar World Cup 2022, after losing controversially in their first game against Uruguay (2-1) and not going beyond the draw against Colombia (2-2) in the second.
Claudio Bravo was decisive when saving the Peruvian goal in a face-to-face with Ruidíaz on the brink of halftime – shortly after the second Chilean goal – and then, already at the restart, he made another highly worthwhile stop to Lapadula, two vital actions so that Chile will take all three points.
This was the first official match that Claudio Bravo had played with the Chilean Red since the 3-0 against Brazil on October 11, 2017 in Sao Paulo, a defeat that left Chile out of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The following year -in August 2018- came his serious injury to the Achilles tendon with Manchester City that had him out for almost a year and prevented him from participating in the 2019 Copa América -which Chile finished third-, while a ligament strain suffered with Betis A month ago it prevented him from playing the first two qualifying matches for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Chile has another key game next Tuesday, November 17, against Venezuela, which will be the 124th that Claudio Bravo plays with La Roja.
