Chile have progressed to the Confederations Cup final after
beating Portugal 3-0 on penalties thanks to Claudio Bravo's heroics in goal
following a cagey affair on Wednesday.
Both Portugal and Chile failed to find their fluency
throughout the match, with neither side creating many golden opportunities to
break the deadlock in both normal and extra-time.
But with just minutes of extra-time remaining, Chile nearly
opened the scoring after hitting the woodwork twice, first through Arturo Vidal
and then through Martin Rodriguez from the same play. However, that didn't cost
them as Chile overcame their opponents on penalties.
