Chile edged Brazil 2-0 in World Cup qualifying as Eduardo Vargas and Alexis Sanchez scored in Santiago.
Second-half goals from Eduardo Vargas and Alexis Sanchez saw Chile to a 2-0 win over Brazil in their World Cup qualifier Thursday.
Vargas side-footed in a 72nd-minute goal at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martinez Pradanos in Santiago before Sanchez sealed it late for the Copa America champion. Chile had looked the more likely to score throughout, with Sanchez and Mauricio Isla hitting the post.
Brazil looked best on the counter-attack but rarely troubled Claudio Bravo on the opening day of CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying in South America.
