MATCH REPORT

NOTHING to separate these two sides who both put in solid performances to secure a hard-earned point apiece in the Cuiaba heat.

Chile's experienced forward Eduardo Vargas scored his 39th international goal in 96 appearances following a slick team move that was started by Arturo Vidal and assisted by Ben Brereton.

The goal was a thunderbolt struck across the face of Fernando Muslera's goal, giving the experienced goalkeeper absolutely no chance and giving Chile the lead against the run of play in the first half.

Uruguay's iconic strike partnership of Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani never really hit their stride, despite Suarez finding a scrappy equaliser from a Facundo Torres corner.

Despite conceding Suarez's 66th minute equaliser, Chile defended superbly and remained compact and organised, as well as threatening to punish Uruguay's high line whenever they were able to counter-attack.

However, after injuries to Guillermo Maripan, Arturo Vidal and Eduardo Vargas, Chile's attacking threat was instantly stifled and the mission quickly became to not concede again as Uruguay grew in to the game late on.

A draw was ultimately a fair result for both sides, although a frustrated Uruguay will be disappointed not to have turned their superiority into goals to secure their first win of the tournament.

MAN OF THE MATCH

Chile's experienced playmaker Charles Aranguiz has been awarded the Man of the Match award following his excellent display at the heart of the Chile midfield.

FT: URUGUAY 1-1 CHILE

STATE OF PLAY

Chile will ultimately be happy with a point to consolidate their position atop the table in Group A and will hope Paraguay can get at least a point against Argentina to ensure they stay top.

Uruguay will be disappointed not to secure three points having had the better chances and more possession, but will be pleased to have their first point on the board nonetheless, having now played the toughest two teams in Group A.

Uruguay will hope that they can get better results against Bolivia and Paraguay to ensure they progress to the next round and give themselves a chance of adding to their 15 Copa America titles.
