Chile clinched its place at the World Cup with a 4-2 win at Colombia on Saturday.
In a frantic match at the Atanasio Girardot Stadium, Colombia went ahead in the 13th minute thanks to an Arturo Vidal own-goal.
Chile struck back swiftly in the 35th with an Waldo Ponce equalizer and surged ahead a minute later when Humberto Suazo headed Fabian Orellana's pass into the net.
Giovanni Moreno scored in the 63rd to draw the hosts level, before substitute Jorge Valdivia scored the winner in the 72nd. Fabian Orellana secured Chile's first return to the World Cup since 1998 with an insurance goal in the 79th.
Chile has 30 points while Colombia was eliminated after Uruguay beat Ecuador to leave fifth-place _ and the final playoff spot _ four points out of reach with one game to play.
Colombia, which has failed to qualify for the last three World Cups, will face Paraguay in its final qualifier on Wednesday when Chile plays Ecuador.
Jackson Martinez took advantage of a mixup between Chile goalkeeper Claudio Bravo and a teammate to skip clear along the left side. Vidal pushed his centering pass into goal with Falcao Garcia pressuring, but the ball set to roll past without threat.
Colombia Goalkeeper David Ospina kept the hosts in the lead by jumping across to keep Jean Beausejour's weak chance out in the 29th after the Chile forward found himself alone, deep inside the Colombia area.
But Chile took command after Ponce headed in a free kick and Suazo capped a slick build-up started by Valdivia, who had replaced Matias Fernandez five minutes earlier.
Both keepers made sensational stops before Moreno, who came on in the 57th minute, volleyed a powerful shot home to the delight of nearly all of the 21,000 in attendance.
The joy was short-lived as Chile continued to press and Valdivia put the visitors back in front before Orellana chipped the ball over Ospina from outside the area for the final score. Orellana would be shown a red card on the last play of the game.
