Chile (14) v (1) Namibia

By Andrew Erlanger

Chile has registered its second win of the tournament, comfortably accounting for Namibia 14-1 to extend its lead at the top of the Group G table.

Felipe Orellana was the star of the show, amassing an impressive six goals throughout the course of the match. Emmanual Angulo was also superb for the South Americans and found the back of the net four times himself.

However it was not only the Chileans who provided the highlights. Namibian Johannes Swartbooi won the applause of the crowd with his courageous goalkeeping under constant fire.

The Chileans put on a footballing show from the outset, with immaculate dribbling and precision passing setting up a wealth of opportunities. Their striking was equally good and by half time the scoreboard read 6-0.

Play restarted in second half as it had left off in the first, with Chile showing off their wonderful ball skills as they piled on another six unanswered goals. As play drew towards a close Namibia gave their vocal cheer squad something to cheer about after Geil Gowases slotted home the first for his side. But the Chileans were just too strong, and a further two goals rounded out the terrific display.
