Chile beats Colombia 2-0 to return to Copa America final

CHICAGO (AP) - When Chile saw an opening, it pounced. When its defense broke down, Claudio Bravo was there. When the rain stopped, it finished the job.

Just another meticulous performance for Chile in Copa America.

Charles Aranguiz and Jose Pedro Feunzalida scored in the first half, and defending champion Chile returned to the final of South America's championship with a soggy 2-0 victory over Colombia on Wednesday night.

"This is a winning team. They are winners. ... Before we play a tournament, they are convinced they are going to win," Chile coach Juan Antonio Pizzi said.
