| Comment |
| A crowd of 52000 arrived at the stadium (with a full capacity of 52000 terraces) to see Chile - Argentina! These are some great conditions for football as the sun shines in the sky! Two players from Chile seem to be switching their positions on the field: David Fernández changes with Fernando Muñoz. The players of Chile are able to use their long shots ability. The players of Chile are playing the high ball very well. They are winning almost all of the aerial plays. The time is now 9 minutes, when a crossed pass to the box by Gabriel Tolosa finds Guillermo López clear, but Guillermo López wasn't able to do any better than put it well over the bar... The ball went flying into the crowd! The players of Chile are in general not as fast as their opponents, and they seem to be not taking advantage of the good pitch conditions. 26 minutes according to the clock, Argentina's players are calmly passing the ball near Chile's box. Gabriel Tolosa passes to Guillermo López who is able to find some space. He is going to shoot... My Goodness. Guillermo López must have confused the goal with the corner-flag. What a lousy shot. The players of Argentina are managing to carry out some dangerous counter-attacks throughout this match. The defensive line of Chile is able to put the opponent forwards in offside frequently. The marking style applied by Chile's players is working very well today. The game went into half time, with the score at 0-0. In this first-half the ball possession was quite even, both teams held the ball at 50%. The result is perfectly in sync with what has happened to date. The second half will surely be a hard one to predict! The marking style applied by Argentina's players is working very well today. The time is now 55 minutes, when Argentina's players are calmly passing the ball near Chile's box. Gabriel Tolosa passes to Guillermo López who is able to find some space. He is going to shoot... but he finds Camilo Isla on his way, who without fearing bravely stops the shot. At 77 minutes, with the scoreboard marking 0-0, Guillermo López receives a short pass from Gabriel Tolosa. Still very far away from the box, he slowly moves towards the goal... and without warning Guillermo López shoots from 30 yards, but the ball goes straight to the hands of Daniel Tejas. The game has reached full-time, but the two teams are still tied... Extra-time is needed! After a short break, the referee blows his whistle to restart the match. 94 minutes, Guillermo López passes to Gabriel Tolosa who cleverly waits for Guillermo López to get himself clear to receive the return ball... the hard part is done, Guillermo López races freely towards goal and waits for the best moment before placing the ball deftly out of the keeper's reach. Goal! Great play from Argentina. With this goal for Argentina the result is now 0-1. At 94 minutes, Chile makes its first substitution. Ian Arrué leaves and Guillermo Tejas enters in his place. Change in Chile. They seem to be playing in another formation. Changes by Chile. They have clearly changed the direction of their attack flow. Chile seems to be approaching the game differently as they are now playing in another formation. Substitution for Chile: at 94 minutes, Axel Aros replaces Jacinto Huaiquipán. Radical change by Chile, as they left their defensive approach for a much more attacking style of play. Following their manager's signal, the players from Argentina are now dropping back in the field of play. 97 minutes, Raúl Monsálvez crosses brilliantly to the box where Fernando Muñoz gains position and heads the ball... to the back of the net! Easy goal for Chile. With this goal for Chile the result is now 1-1. Chile abandoned their attacking style shown until this moment. They are now playing with a much more defensive style. Another play at 104 minutes, Gabriel Tolosa makes the supporters of Argentina jump out of their chairs, when showing great style he dribbles past two defenders. When another one gets in his way, he passes to Guillermo López who races clear to the goal... Guillermo López tries to offer the goal to a teammate but he completely misses the pass. Goal kick. Around 119 minute(s), substitution for Argentina. Wilmer Leoni leaves the field, and in his place Ivo López is set to enter. Due to the last movements from the players of Argentina, it seems that their manager ordered them a formation change. After 120 minutes the scoreboard shows the teams to still be deadlocked! The game goes to penalties! Someone will have to win this time... we will know who soon. The first team to shot from the penalty spot is the home team. David Fernández of Chile runs to the ball... but misses! The ball goes flying towards the corner flag! He probably should have taken a little more time with that shot ... Guillermo López of Argentina steps up calmly... and that's a goal. Bad luck for Daniel Tejas, he almost caught that one! After the first round, the score is 0-1. Gustavo Valdivia of Chile steps up calmly... but what a disastrous shot! He seemed very nervous. Ivo López of Argentina shoots... and misses!! He was too anxious. After the second round, the score is 0-1. Fernando Muñoz of Chile steps up... and missed the opportunity! Fernando Muñoz seemed to be affected by the goalkeeper. Gabriel Tolosa of Argentina puts the ball on the spot and starts to run... but what a disastrous shot! He seemed very nervous. After the third round, the score is 0-1. Raúl Monsálvez of Chile runs to the ball... the ball hits the crossbar and bounces on the goal line! The referee hesitates, but does not validate the goal. Oh, what an unlucky shot... Patricio Klemm of Argentina steps up calmly... but he blazes it over. Too much power on the ball! After the fourth round, the score is 0-1. Axel Aros of Chile shoots... but Patricio Klemm makes an impossible save! Absolutely outstanding. Diego Díaz of Argentina steps up... and failed to score. The ball went wide! And the game is over! After a hard fought contest during the 120 minutes, Argentina won the game in penalties 1-2. |
