Soteldo starts for Venezuela, to miss Fluminense v Bahia cup tie | OneFootball

Less than 24 hours before the decisive match against Bahia in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil at Maracanã, forward Solteldo was on the field for the Venezuelan national team against Colombia, in Venezuela, in a match valid for the last round of the Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

The player played for 90 minutes and the match ended 6×3 for Colombia. With the defeat, the Venezuelans finished the Qualifiers in eighth place and did not qualify for the World Cup. Jhon Árias, former Fluminense player, was also on the field for Colombia, but came on at the end of the second half.

In the match between Bolivia and Brazil, midfielder Jean Lucas came on during the second half and may start on the bench due to the fatigue from playing at altitude and the trip back to Rio de Janeiro.
