Soccer-Bolivia would be no pushover in semis - Chile coach

SANTIAGO, June 25 (Reuters) - If Chile end up facing Bolivia in their Copa America semi-final it will be a very different match from their group game where they won 5-0, coach Jorge Sampaoli said on Wednesday.

"We beat Bolivia when both teams had already qualified (for the knock-out stages)," Sampaoli said after his side beat Uruguay to seal a place in the last four.

"If Bolivia go through it won't be the same match."

Bolivia face Peru in the southern Chilean city of Temuco on Thursday. The winners will play the hosts in Santiago next week for a place in the final.
