It was a perfect start for Brazil as David Luiz scored in the 18th minute of the game to give the hosts an early lead.

It was Neymar who provided the assist with the corner kick.

No surprise as to who the goal scorer was for Chile.

Alexis Sanchez was smart enough to take the slight opportunity that was created by the Brazilian defence.

Meanwhile Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo took some body blows and made some crucial saves to keep his team in the contest.

The best moment in the second half was when Hulk's goal was controversially denied by the referee in the 55th minute saying that it was a hand ball.

Hulk though pleaded that it went off his shoulder.

This left coach Luiz Felipe Scolari furious.

He was sure that the on-field referee totally got it wrong.

Chile managed to limit Brazil to 1-1 in the initial 90 minutes and then for 30 more minutes to take the game into penalties.

Goal keeper Julio Cesar made 3 important saves in the penalty shootout to deny Chile a last 8 entry in the World Cup.

Julio Cesar was Brazil's hero of the match as he kept his calm when it mattered most.
