Chile, in emphatic fashion, is moving on to the Copa America semifinals.
Eduardo Vargas scored four goals, and La Roja scored five in the second half to defeat Mexico 7-0 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Saturday.

Inside the San Francisco 49ers' stadium, Chile put on a beatdown that could have been an NFL score. That opened up the door for multiple American football references from CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora, The Cauldron's Andy Glockner and NBC Sports' Raphielle Johnson:
I suppose it's kinda fitting that Mexico lost by the NFL equivalent of 49-0 in the stadium inhabited by the 49ers #synergy
