Former Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa took charge of Uruguay against Luis Sinisterra’s Colombia on Thursday night in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying.
South American qualifiers have already begun for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada with ex-Leeds coach Bielsa presiding over one win, one draw and one defeat during Uruguay’s opening three matches of the qualification round. Six teams from the CONMEBOL confederation qualify automatically for the Finals, with the possibility of a seventh securing a place at the expanded tournament through the inter-confederation play-off route.
Thursday evening’s encounter pit the veteran coach against Leeds loanee Sinisterra, who was introduced for the final ten minutes as Colombia looked to hold out their 2-1 advantage. It wasn’t to be, however, as a late Darwin Nunez penalty salvaged a point for Bielsa’s Uruguay.
