JUST IN: Portugal Crashes Out Of Confederations Cup As Bravo Shines For Chile



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.
