Chile won a penalty shootout 5-4 to defeat Colombia in the 2019 Copa America quarterfinals following 90 scoreless minutes Friday night at Arena Corinthians in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Although Chile was the more dangerous side throughout, highlighted by its 57 percent advantage in possession and 10-6 edge in shot attempts, La Roja had two goals disallowed following review, which forced the physical knockout match to get decided by penalties.
Alexis Sanchez delivered the winning shootout goal for the Chileans after William Tesillo missed wide for Los Cafeteros.
The start of the quarterfinal was delayed by 20 minutes because Chile's team bus was late arriving to the stadium after getting stuck in heavy traffic.
