Bolivia, led by striker Enzo (23), a member of the K League 2, Chungcheongbuk-do Cheongju, overpowered Suriname and stood at the last gateway to the World Cup finals.

Bolivia came from behind to beat Suriname 2-1 in the Group B semifinals of the 2026 FIFA 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Intercontinental Playoff (PO) at BBVA Stadium in Monterrey, Mexico on the 27th (Korea time).

In this intercontinental PO, six countries from five continents (Bolivia, Suriname, Jamaica, Iraq, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and New Caledonia) will compete for only two tickets to the finals. Iraq and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which have the highest FIFA rankings among the participating countries, are waiting for the final on a first-come, first-served basis.

Bolivia, which defeated Suriname, will play its last match against Iraq on April 1 for the berth in the finals. Bolivia, which ranked seventh in the Latin American qualifying round and was pushed to the PO, is aiming for its fourth World Cup in 32 years since the 1994 U.S. tournament. On the other hand, Suriname, who dreamed of going to the finals for the first time in history, unfortunately stopped trying.

The economic trends were dramatic. Bolivia was dragged away by Liam van Helderan's first goal three minutes into the second half. However, Moises Paniagua scored an equalizer in the 27th minute of the second half to bring the game back to square one, and Miguel Terceros scored a comeback goal with a penalty in the 34th minute of the second half.

Enzo, who was in charge of Bolivia's front line, was replaced after lying on the ground until the 29th minute of the second half when the score was 1-1.

Enzo, who was born in 2004, took his first step on the K League 2 stage in Chungcheongbuk-do Cheongju this season after going through the Brazilian stage. He has played as a substitute in both games since the opening of this season, and has yet to score a goal.
