It was his 48th goal in 72 international games and takes the Barcelona striker equal to Zico on Brazil's all-time goal-scoring list. The result in the humid heat of Manaus lifts Brazil to 15 points, ahead of Argentina, who came from behind to draw 2-2 against bottom-placed team Venezuela, on goal difference. Colombia sit two points behind them in fourth place in the 10-team South American group. Chile could only draw 0-0 with Bolivia and sit in seventh place in the 10-team table. The top four qualify automatically for Russia 2018 and the fifth place side goes into an intercontinental play off.
