In response, Ronaldo collected a high long ball and sent a sublime cross into the feet of Andre Silva, who was denied at the far post by the width of the sprawling Bravo's backside.

The fast and attacking opening seemed to catch everyone by surprise and matters were soon broken down into feisty fits and starts. William Carvalho caught Vargas on the foot and Gonzalo Jara stood on Adrien Silva's ankle. The Sporting CP midfielder later talked himself into the book for protesting against Chile's rough treatment but it was coming from both sides.

Chile had been denied a clear penalty in the second period of extra-time and hit the woodwork twice in quick succession soon after, but they wrapped up the win in convincing fashion from the spot.
