Minute
Description
78'
The corner comes to nothing as Vidal is ruled to have fouled his man inside the box.
77'
Poor communication at the back means Gonzalez thumps clear when Horvath could have collected under no pressure. Chile throw men forward to attack the corner.
75'
D. Lovitz gets yellow.
Lovitz makes a clumsy challenge on Isla and picks up a yellow card for his troubles.
72'
The USA are growing back into the game, but a few sloppy passes have seen them relinquish possession rather cheaply at times.
70'
E. Pulgar enters the game and replaces D. Valdés.
S. Vegas enters the game and replaces G. Maripán.
Maripan, too, makes way, with Vegas taking his place in the back line.
Valdes - an attacking midfielder - makes way for the more defensive-minded Pulgar.
68'
There's a brief delay as Maripan - having fouled Roldan - seems to have been injured making that challenge and will have to come off.
66'
W. Trapp enters the game and replaces P. Arriola.
Another defensive change is made as winger Arriola makes way for holding midfielder Trapp.
64'
They surge forward again as they manage to beat the press and win a corner off Isla. It comes to nothing, however, as they give away a foul in the box.
62'
The USA are being starved of possession again, having played their way back into the game somewhat. Chile's class is starting to show as the game wears on.
60'
The USA get out of their half and a curled cross from the right just evades Zardes, before a delivery from the opposite side is thumped clear.
58'
Chile work it wide to Isla through the hub of Vidal, and the right wing-back's fizzed, low ball is hacked desperately away!
56'
D. Lovitz enters the game and replaces C. Baird.
Baird comes off for Lovitz as Berhalter switches to a three-man central defensive system.
54'
BLOCK! The ball is slipped through the lines far too easily again and Castillo thumps the ball off the back of a defender on the edge of the box. Chile are knocking on the door.
52'
Chile are squeezing up an inch at a time and are playing through the USA with increasing ease. Berhalter may need to change things sooner rather than later.
50'
Chile have started the second half with a real intensity and purpose on the ball. The USA have everyone back in their half defending.
47'
There's a comedy moment as Roldan and the referee collide off the ball and go sprawling across the turf. Neither is hurt from the incident and play continues.
46'
We're back underway for the second half!
BLOCK! Chile make a fast start as Isla switches the ball to Valdes, who sees a low effort blocked by a sea of blue shirts. We've picked up right where we left off, it seems.
45' +2
HALF-TIME: USA 1-1 CHILE
45' +1
Lletget cleverly sets Arriola on his way down the left, and he cuts it back for Baird on the edge of the box, but he's crowded out and the ball is hacked well clear.
43'
Chile are starting to dominate the game and are working the ball around confidently now.
37'
The departure of Pulisic is a major blow for the USA, but Borussia Dortmund will also be concerned, with a crucial clash against Bayern Munich not far away.
36'
S. Lletget enters the game and replaces C. Pulišić.
Pulisic has gone down and he won't be able to continue. Lletget replaces him in midfield.
33'
The corner is half-cleared to Ream, who can't quite work it back into the box and it's hacked away.
30'
Arriola has the chance to sprint down the left, but his touch is a little heavy and the ball runs away from him. Waste of a good position, that.
29'
It's been an excellent contest so far as we approach the half-hour mark. Both sides have held their own in an evenly-matched game.
27'
E. Pavez gets yellow.
Pavez goes lunging in and absolutely cleans Arriola out, earning him a deserved yellow card.
23'
CHile look very accomplished in midfield. They always have a short passing option and Vidal is proving particularly influential.
21'
Baird wins the ball well and pokes it forward for Arriola to run onto. He gets it back inside the box but gets crowded out as Chile pull men back. Good link-up between the USA's wide players.
19'
The USA have a free-kick on the right as Roldan draws a foul, but it's wasted as they give away a foul of their own inside the box.
15'
Both sides look confortable on the ball when they get hold of it and aren't in a hurry to relinquish possession.
13'
Roldan tries to slip Baird in and it's a good ball, but Baird had just gone a fraction early. It would have been a nice move had it come off.
11'
MISS! Yedlin tries to restore the hosts' advantage with a firm effort from the edge of the box, but it's just wide of the target.
9'
Ó. Opazo has scored a goal for Chile!
GOAL!! It's 1-1! Castillo holds the ball up in a crowded box and lays off Aranguiz, whose shot is blocked away. It falls kindly for Opazo on the left, who lashes into the far corner via a deflection to level the scores!
7'
MISS! Vidal receives the ball on the right just outside the area and tries to lash one at goal, but he slices it wide of the target. A sighter for the Barcelona midfielder, perhaps.
6'
Chile have grown in stature since conceding and are dominating the ball for a spell, forcing the USA backwards.
4'
C. Pulišić has scored a goal for United States! Assist by G. Zardes.
Zardes' back-to-goal play was textbook there. Superb touch and an excellent early ball on the swivel to set Pulisic away.
GOAL!!! PULISIC SCORES! Zardes takes a logn ball down superbly and plays the ball in behind for Pulisic, who dinks the ball over Arias and into the back of the net! The USA lead 1-0!
3'
It appears that Chile have gone to a back five in the opening stages of this game, perhaps looking to ease their way into proceedings.
