Chile Beat Portugal in Shootout to Advance to 2017 Confederations Cup Final

Claudio Bravo made three straight saves in a penalty shootout to help Chile reach the final of the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup at the expense of Portugal on Wednesday.

Manchester City goalkeeper Bravo saved from Ricardo Quaresma, Joao Moutinho and Nani in the shootout, after the two teams could only manage a 0-0 draw following extra time at the Kazan Arena in Kazan, Russia.

Penalties were needed but only after Chile were denied what looked like a clear spot-kick and also hit the woodwork twice during the extra period. La Roja will now await the winner of Thursday's semi-final between Germany and Mexico.
