Claudio Bravo became the hero to save three penalty shootouts to help Chile qualify for the Confed Cup final. Before that, both teams drew 0-0 after 120 minutes of competition.

  • 1h June 29: Portugal 0-0 Chile (Confederations Cup semi-final, Kazan Arena)

Penalty: 0-3

Portugal and Chile all place great determination on the threshold of the Confederations Cup semi-finals. Arturo Vidal even threatened to turn Seleccao's brightest star, Cristiano Ronaldo, into "invisible" at the stake in Kazan.

Vidal's verbal utterances turned out to be completely grounded. Chile played very impressive and even if, fortunately, the South American champion can completely finish the game in extra time instead of waiting to shine in the scorers' Claudio Bravo.

In the 90th minute of the competition, both teams had some clear chances to clear the lead. However, the final stages of Vargas, Aranguiz (Chile) or Andre Silva, Andre Gomes (Portugal) are either too gentle, or inaccurate.

After the first extra time, Chile suddenly accelerated and created a vicious fight at extra time 2. If the referee is more accurate, Juan Pizzi's army must be given a penalty when Francisco Silva is crossed by Fonte in the forbidden area.

Immediately after the ball, Chile continued to have the wonderful opportunity to record "golden goal". However, Vidal's shot from 22 yards was a let-down, and Martin Rodríguez's free-kick hit the post.

In the penalty shootout, while Vidal, Aranguiz and Alexis Sanchez are all set to succeed for Chile, all three of Portugal's strikes by Quaresma, Moutinho and Nani have failed to qualify. The great Claudio Bravo.

Chile officially won the first ticket to the 2017 Confedrations Cup final. Coach Juan Pizzi's opponents will be determined after the semi-final between Germany and Mexico.
