16' OFFSIDE! Aranguiz's goal disallowed

Chile whip in a cross from the left wing that Ospina seemingly had covered, but then spilled! Araguiz pounced on the ball and tucked it into the back of the net to give his side the lead... But after review, Alexis Sanchez was ruled to be offside in the build up down the left, and the goal has been chalked off, much to the relief of Ospina!

Match report

Chile kept their Copa America title defence alive with a penalty shoot-out win over Colombia in the quarter-finals on Friday.

In what was a largely scrappy and tight encounter, two-time defending champions Chile were held to a 0-0 draw at the Arena Corinthians in Sao Paulo.

Chile twice thought they had found a breakthrough, but strikes from Charles Aranguiz and Arturo Vidal were ruled out after VAR reviews.

But they delivered in the penalty shoot-out, Alexis Sanchez converting the winner to seal a 5-4 success after William Tesillo missed for Colombia.
