8' GOAL! Ecuador 0-1 Chile (Fuenzalida)
CHILE SNATCH AN EARLY LEAD! Ecuador fall behind 1-0 early on, as they did against Uruguay, as they fail to deal with a corner before Fuenzalida latches onto the loose ball and drives a delightful finish in off the far post from 12 yards!
26' Penalty Goal! Ecuador 1-1 Chile (Enner Valencia)
PARITY RESTORED IN SALVADOR! Valencia makes no mistake from the spot, smashing his penalty straight down the middle and into the roof of the net to level things up 1-1! Game on!
51' GOAL! Ecuador 1-2 Chile (Sanchez)

63' SAVE! Pulgar’s shot saved
FINE SAVE! Better from Chile, who could sense Ecuador again growing in confidence, doing well to up the intensity and get the ball forward themselves. Some decent build-up play wins them a corner, which is met by Pulgar, but his thumping header is parried expertly by Dominguez!
89' Red Card! Achilier sent off
ECUADOR ARE DOWN TO 10 MEN! Well that certainly puts a dents in their comeback hopes! Achilier dangerously catches Vidal with an elbow to the face right at the halfway line, and the referee doesn't hesitate in producing a straigh red card! For a second match in a row, Ecuador have a man sent off!
Match Report
Alexis Sanchez scored again as Chile moved into the Copa America quarter-finals with a 2-1 win over Ecuador on Friday.
Sanchez struck for the second time in as many games, his 51st-minute goal enough to see Chile onto six points and through from Group C.
Jose Fuenzalida's opener had earlier been cancelled out by an Enner Valencia penalty in an encounter that never reached any great heights in Salvador.
But Sanchez's goal put the two-time defending champions into the last eight with a game to spare in the group, with Gabriel Achilier seeing red late on for Ecuador.
