Sweden v Chile
Sweden (5) v Chile (6)
Fast, frantic. Chile scored first from a penalty but they never raced away with it, Sweden always pegging them back, the score see-sawing up to 3:3.
Then a blue card and a two minute sin-binning for one of the Swedish players. Chile's chance. One shot, two shot, three shots, every chance taken. Finally a goal for Chile to take them into the half time break leading 4 - 3.
Still with Sweden down to only two outfielders to start the second half, Chile pressed on to try to take a decisive lead.
No chance, and on came the third Swedish outplayer. Now Sweden were shooting too. Great shots at each end, and the Chile number 10 closed down by the Swedish goalie when he looked through.Finally it was Chile that scored. But the two goal lead never looked safe, the game picking back up to the frantic pace at which it started, with two goals from Sweden in just 30 seconds. Just, just, despite Sweden drawing level, Chile nicked it with the last goal of the game.
