Bolivia rejected

In the World cup qualifying games for Russia 2018 at the CONMEBOL region, one south American country has done a dreadful mistake not once, but twice for the same reason.
This is actually a good lesson of how to lose (probable) six points in a matter of few seconds (even if you want DO NOT try this at competitive matches because you will get punished). Maybe this was done in negligence, however Bolivia has lost precious four points that could help the team to reach that magical fifth place which goes to additional play off. On 01 September the team played against Peru, which Bolivia won 2:0, but with 'the help of' ineligible player. Five days later they repeated the same mistake again against Chile, and this game has finished goalless. Nelson Cabrera, who was identified as 'that guilty' sanctioned player, also brought a fine for the federation - 6.000 Swiss francs for each meetings, and of course both matches were forfeited 0:3 to their opponents. The 12.000 Swiss francs (11.069 euros) penalty was issued by FIFA on 01 November.
Seven days ago the world football organization dismissed the appeal from Bolivia for this case and just confirm the decisions from last year.
