    (84 mins) Chance! Was that the golden chance for Chile? Puch does amazingly well to keep the ball in play when it looks for all the world like it's gone out. The German defense - including the keeper - looked like they all thought it had gone out of play and stopped, but Puch works it to Sagal, but he blazes over with the goal at his mercy from 6 yards out!

    (83 mins) Chile with two corners in quick succession but German head clear both times. Chile need better quality on their delivery to pose any threat.
