Colombia pulled off an amazing fightback to reach the Football World Cup for the first time since 1998. At Montevideo on Friday, Colombia rallied from 3-0 down to snatch a 3-3 draw against 10-man Chile in a six-goal thriller. Monaco striker Radamel Falcao was the hero for the home side. Keeping his cool he converted two late penalties to helpColombia grab the point they needed to be certain ofqualifying for next year's finals in Brazil. Brazil qualify automatically for the tournament as hosts, while Argentina had already confirmed their qualification last month. Despite the disappointment of failing to wrap up qualification, Chile remain firmly on course for Brazil after results elsewhere worked in their favour. Ecuador's 1-0 win over Uruguay in Quito means that Chile need only a point from their final game, against Ecuador in Santiago next Tuesday, to qualify.
