A quick summary of action around CONMEBOL on the weekend of SAT 09-SUN 10 OCT 2004.
» Colombia 01-01 Paraguay: Paraguay remained third in CONMEBOL off Aureliano TORRES's second half equaliser, as los Cafeteros could only manage a point after dominating the first half.
» Ecuador 02-00 Chile: Ecuador jumped into fourth place in a match delayed an hour while hail was cleared from the field; several first half misses eventually gave way to goals by Iván KAVIEDES and Edison MÉNDEZ.
» Venezuela 02-05 Brazil: Two fans ran onto the field in celebration after RONALDO's second goal, Brazil's fourth of the day. Venezuela made up two after falling back 5-0 but could not move out of their tie for sixth place.
» Argentina 04-02 Uruguay: José PEKERMAN started his tenure as Argentina coach with a convincing win over neighbouring Uruguay, who still managed to crawl halfway back from a 4-0 deficit.
