Japan will take plenty of positives from this one despite the big defeat, while Chile may already have one foot in the next stage. That's all from Sao Paulo. Thanks for joining us and, until next time, goodbye!

Chile looked set to be pushed all the way by Japan, but Pulgar's goal late in the first half gave them a lead to defend. A flurry of goals then saw Vargas, Sanchez and Vargas again add a scarcely deserved gloss to the scoreline.

90' + 4' Good stop from Osako! Junior Fernandes cuts inside from the left and blasts on target, but it's straight at the goalkeeper, who parries comfortably.
