00:00Canada coming off of their victory earlier today, we'll find out as we are underway.
00:07It is Chile La Roja wearing...
00:10Chile just doing a good job defensively as well of having a plus-one defender,
00:14so they're not getting outnumbered or overloaded in the wide areas.
00:18But if Argentina can move the ball quicker...
00:20Here they are, Messi!
00:22Little kiss off the outside of the post as it goes back quicker into the gaps,
00:27it's a one-two touch passing, they find the man they want on the top of the box,
00:31Bravo, watch, Claudio Bravo here, stranded, he has no chance at it, and just that little...
00:36Antonio Fico plays it forward, Gonzalez is knocked away, but Alvarez picks it up,
00:39and he's gonna find Messi, he's got Molina out to his right,
00:42Messi hands it off, Molina! Saved by Bravo!
00:45And the rebound cleared behind by Suazo out for a quarter.
00:50A great ball into Julian Alvarez, able to turn that one around, takes a contact as well,
00:56and then you've got Messi, that ball just gets held up a touch that Molina had to slow down his run,
01:01let the ball run across his body, still gets a good hit on it, and it's going in...
01:06Messi, able to control that,
01:08with all the way along wide, Nico Gonzalez brings it down into the box,
01:12Gonzalez! Off the bar!
01:14Did Bravo get a touch or not? De Paul picks it up, they'll recycle it back out.
01:19Gonzalez couldn't get through Isla that time, and then he goes down,
01:23and Chile able to breathe a little bit.
01:26Dropped the hammer here, didn't he? This one gets out to him from Messi,
01:29finds the space, Isla tucked inside, that gave him the advantage to set him up the way he wanted to,
01:34which was onto his left foot, and Bravo absolutely gets a touch on this.
01:38Look at that, touches it into the crossbar. Fantastic save again.
01:45That ball is moving too, it starts inside and then starts to bend out.
01:50And then a little bit of a rugby tackle here to take him down.
01:54Nico Gonzalez, nowhere to go though.
02:04Narrow, right to Pulgar, Davila has runners.
02:09Now plays it wide for Eduardo Vargas.
02:13Isla coming forward, Isla takes it inside, Isla into the box,
02:16takes a touch, deflected effort comes to the top of the box,
02:20here comes the hammer, deflected shot saved by Emiliano Martinez,
02:24his first save of the entire night in the 72nd minute.
02:29And it comes off of a mistake where Romero just tries to force the ball into pressure
02:34when Argentina had everybody up, and then it's a counterattack.
02:38And for the first time tonight, Chile taking advantage of the space
02:43and using the ball well and carving out a legit opportunity.
02:4614 of their last 15 games, Isla, chance to cross in, Vargas rising up,
02:52didn't get there, not fully cleared, Martinez the save, he covers up the rebound,
02:56that was Echeverria again, forcing Emiliano Martinez.
03:00Great save, but a great break from Chile.
03:02Look at the numbers they have in the box, haven't seen that all game long.
03:06Did a great job carving out a chance down the right-hand side,
03:10another deflection again, this one, I think he's aware of it.
03:15Seventh save for Bravo tonight.
03:19Messi, swung into the near post, knocked down to the doorstep,
03:22saved by Bravo, the rebound is in!
03:24Latorre Martinez! Argentina finally break through!
03:30Subs on the corner as we talked about, I'm not saying that's the only reason this happens,
03:34but there's chaos in and around the goal box here.
03:39Ball comes in, Romero trying the overhead kick,
03:44and then it ping-pongs around in there, and Martinez alerted the back post,
03:48such a great finisher to take that first time, what a finish that is.
03:52Comes to get it, 95th minute, 30 seconds at least,
03:56Lichnowski into the middle of the field,
03:58DePaul there first as Núñez couldn't control cleanly,
04:01selling out attempt there by Diaz,
04:03and Di MarÃa is running in, Latorre Martinez as well,
04:06Di MarÃa into the middle, Latorre Martinez,
04:09knocked out, it doesn't go in!
04:12It might not matter to the result, but it is another terrific play
04:17by 41-year-old Claudio Bravo tonight.
04:20Oh my goodness, I'm not sure why he just passed this low corner, it's a goal,
04:24but what a save for Claudio Bravo,
04:27and look at the spin on that, taking it out.
04:31The pass from Di MarÃa as well gets caught up a little bit in the dry grass.
