Chile are into the Confederations Cup final after the semi-final with Portugal in Kazan was decided by Claudio Bravo's penalty shoot-out saves.
Bravo saved poor spot-kicks from Ricardo Quaresma, Joao Moutinho and Nani as the much-maligned Manchester City goalkeeper proved to be the match winner.
Chile were faultless from the spot as Arturo Vidal, Charles Aranguiz and Alexis Sanchez scored.
The South American champions had come closest to winning the contest in open play when Vidal hit the post in the penultimate minute of extra-time and Martin Rodriguez struck the bar with the follow-up.
