"There is no pact of non-aggression, that isn't going to happen," Bravo said ahead of Tuesday's much-awaited tie in Sao Paulo. The top four teams qualify automatically and the fifth-placed team take on New Zealand in an intercontinental playoff. Five-times world champions Brazil are already through and second-placed Uruguay are almost certain to join them. But only two points separate the next five teams, with Argentina, finalists in 2014, sixth and out of the qualification places. "We recovered a bit of our essence in the last match and that will boost us," goalkeeper Bravo told reporters.
