In the final part of the first phase, Celeste improved its production and scored goals. The first, in a splendid exchange of passes, De La Cruz faced the goalkeeper and sent it into the net. Shortly after, De La Cruz finds Valverde, who clears the marker and hits a cross, 2-0.

The lead wasn’t bigger thanks to Darwin Núñez’s lack of effectiveness. The center forward received a pass from De La Cruz and went into the goalkeeper’s face. The shot ends with a good save from the Chilean goalkeeper.

In the final phase, Uruguay remained best on the pitch. With more space to counter, Celeste comes close to third place with Pellistri.

In the 27th minute De La Cruz shines. In Valverde’s rapid descent, Darwin Núñez was called onto the field and left the ball to the midfielder, who only put the ball in the net, 3-0.

Chile tries to react and finds the net with Vidal. On the cross, Valdez headed the ball, the ball hit the post and, on the rebound, the midfielder sent it into Rochet’s net.

At the end of the match Vidal had the opportunity to put La Roja back into the game, but his shot from the edge of the area stopped in the hands of Rochet.
