  90+!' WHAT A MISSES! Sanchez just had to give direction to a great ball in the box but somehow he messes up his shot and Argentinean defence clears. They counter-attack and Messi takes a shot which goes wide of first post

  Maybe they could have, you know, found a decent ref for a Copa America final. Not one who is doing this for the first time ever.

  Messi takes the resultant free kick and Bravo easily gathers the ball. No harm done, but for how long can Chile defend with 10 men?

  
• 27 Jun 2016, 06:14 AM

  28' RED CARD! Diaz fouls Messi the same way he did just a few minutes back and he gets a second yellow. He is off. Chile are down to 10 men now

  
• 27 Jun 2016, 06:12 AM

  21'

  CHANCE MISSED! Higuain is back at it again as he misses a great chance. Medel is guilty of giving away possession, Higuain takes control of the ball, enters the box, and after being one on one with Bravo, he shoots wide. A chip is all that he needed

  
• 27 Jun 2016, 06:04 AM

  18'

  Di Maria tries to find some space but Chile defenders block his way, finally he gets a shot in but it is way over the target

  SAVED! Messi goes for goal but the shot is straight into the safe hands of Bravo
