A quick summary of action around CONMEBOL on the weekend of SAT 04-SUN 05 SEP 2004.
» Uruguay 1-0 Ecuador: Carlos BUENO's header was ruled a goal in the 58th minute, though Ecuador protested that goalkeeper Edwin VILLAFUERTE had saved it before it crossed the line. That turned out to decide the match as Uruguay moved up to equal Ecuador in fifth place.
» Paraguay 1-0 Venezuela: Carlos GAMARRA's second half header gave Paraguay the win and left Venezuela in a fifth place tie with Uruguay and Ecuador.
» Chile 0-0 Colombia: Both sides finished with nine men in a match that more closely resembled freestyle wrestling than football. Chile held in fourth place, whilst Colombia continue to scrape out from the hole they dug themselves early in qualifying.
