After a humbling 5-1 defeat by the Netherlands in their curtain-raiser, Chile stunned Spain 2-0 to secure a place in the knockout phase with a Group B game to spare and eliminate the FIFA World Cup™ holders. Eduardo Vargas and Charles Aranguiz sent the South Americans in at the break at a two-goal cushion, and though the Iberians tried relentlessly to get back into the game after the restart, they were unable to find a way past Claudio Bravo. - FIFA

"There are thousands of Chile fans pouring out of the stadium in full voice, one described to me today as the best of day of his life and they are absolutely overjoyed. Quite a contrast to the Spain fans, who are in a daze, struggling to understand how this team, who have played so well over the past six years, have crashed out.

"There is talk of an end of an era for Spain, but there will be a big night of partying ahead for these Chile fans." - Richard Conway (BBC)
