The End

Germany play against Chile 1:1. Sanchez's record-breaking goal is not enough to win against the World Cup Champion Germany. The Germans used their only possibility in the first half to equalize.

Review

Chile started the game very vital. Sanchez scored Chile to the lead. It was his 38th goal. He becomes the all-time-sorer for the Chilean squad. In the beginning of the game, Germany was under much pressure. In the end of the first half, they used their only chance. Lars Stindl equalized in the 41st minute. Very efficient play by the World Cup winners. Without doubt, it will be a very interesting second half
