Chile’s “la Roja” squad redeems itself following last week’s defeat in Argentina. 

Tensions were high in Chile’s “Estadio Monumental,” but in a “must-win” match on an unseasonably cold evening in Santiago, it took only one minute and a half for Chilean fans to breathe a sigh of relief when Waldo Ponce headed a corner kick into the goal against the Peruvian opponents.

Congrats on well-played match, Chile.

I was unhappy to see my team go down 3-0 but more than ecstatic to see them fight back.

I hope to see both teams in Brazil!

Fantastic game by both sides. Can't wait for the rematch.

You're right, Robpichi, the game was played at Estadio Monumental (though we're not sure la Roja was hedging on Colo Colo's luck this year). We've corrected the error. Thanks!

This match took place at Estadio Monumental, not at Estadio Nacional. We won because we played there, at Colo-Colo`s ruca.
