Arturo Vidal, Alexis Sanchez Push Chile Past Cameroon at 2017 Confederations Cup

Arturo Vidal's header nine minutes from time helped Chile to a 2-0 win over Cameroon in Group B of the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup at the Spartak Stadium in Moscow, Russia, on Sunday.

Vidal was teed up by Alexis Sanchez, who started the game on the bench while he nursed an ankle injury. Eduardo Vargas wrapped up the win with a neat finish in stoppage time, which must have felt like justice after he hit the post in the first minute and had a goal chalked off for offside during the opening half.

The big team news was Arsenal forward Sanchez didn't start because of an ankle problem, per James Benge of the London Evening Standard.
