A quick summary of action around the CONMEBOL group phase on TUE 29-WED 30 MAR 2005.
» Bolivia 03-01 Venezuela: Alejandro CICHERO was the unfortunate goat in this match, heading a cross into his own goal in only the first minute. Even with that gift and the resulting win, Bolivia could not get out of last place in CONMEBOL.
» Paraguay 02-01 Chile: Gustavo MORINIGO and José CARDOZO put Paraguay 2-0 up after 60 minutes. Luis FUENTES scored on a header, but la Roja could not complete the comeback and ended up in sixth place, ahead of three other teams who also have 14 points.
» Uruguay 01-01 Brazil: Diego FORLÁN and EMERSON were the goalscorers in a match that left Brazil still winless all time in competitive matches away to Uruguay. The Charrúas remain in fifth place, which would move them into the playoff against the OFC third round winner.
