Copa America Centenario: Chile advance to last eight

The defending Copa America champions responded to the shock of falling behind to a shock Miguel Camargo after only five minutes with two goals by Vargas before Arsenal star Sanchez grabbed a third in the Group D game. Sanchez added his second in the 89th minute to complete the scoring. 

The Chileans will almost certainly meet Group C winners Mexico in the quarter-finals on Saturday, barring a miraculous result in Tuesday’s other match between Argentina and Bolivia. Tournament favourites Argentina would need to suffer a heavy defeat by four or more goals to avoid qualifying as winners of Group D. Chile meanwhile will advance to the quarter-finals still searching for their best form after twice conceding against modest opponents who were thumped 5-0 by Argentina in their previous outing.
