Copa America 2016: Chile advances with 4-2 win

Chile responded well though, and 10 minutes later they were level.

The night didn’t start well for Sanchez and co though when Miguel Camargo gave Panama a shock fifth-minute lead.

Panama defender Harold Cummings is confident that his side will advance to the quarterfinals of the 2016 Copa America Centenario.

The quarterfinals for the 2016 Copa America are all but set.

Scheduled to take on Mexico in the quarter final, La Rojo defeated Panama last night in their final group match – a cracking encounter that finished 4-2. Hoffenheim’s striker Eduardo Vargas equalized in 15th minute and netted another goal in 43rd minute.

Perhaps next year’s Gold Cup will provide another opportunity for them to represent Los Canaleros, but this game might be the last chance to see some of Panama’s (and CONCACAF’s) best-known internationals do what they do best for their country.

Juan Antonio Pizzi speaks to the press. “We made a lot of errors (against Argentina)”.

Although Vargas is far from a traditional target forward, he fits the bill in Chile’s 4-3-3. Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal haven’t exactly filled up expectations for La Roja.

With Panama chasing the two goals they needed to beat Chile, Sanchez struck again with a header from close range that padded the scoreline and put the match out of reach for Hernan Darío Gomez’s side.

The Barcelona goalkeeper and Chile captain should have kept it out but only managed to push it into his own net.

Elsewhere, Argentina scored three times in the first-half to stroll past Bolivia and seal top spot in Group D at the Copa America Centenario.

With a quarter of an hour to go, Abdiel Arroyo handed Panama a lifeline as he headed a deflected cross towards the Chile goal. Copa America schedule and matches ” On the field it’s 11 against 11″, Cummings said about the No. 5 team in the world according to the Federation Internationale de Football Association rankings.

It’s worth noting that Vargas was not on the field for the first half of that match, as Chile’s commanding possession failed to produce a breakthrough.

“Chile is our final”. “I think this is going to be quite the opposite. You have to recalibrate and know what we did poorly in order to improve”.

Argentina is in search of its first major worldwide championship since winning the Copa America in 1993.
