Copa América Daily: Arturo Vidal injured in Chile win, Arthur returns to Brazil lineup

The final game of the Matchday 1 of the 2019 Copa America took place on Monday night at the Morumbi in São Paulo, with a dominant win by Chile over Japan. La Roja had to survive a good Japanese start, but once they got their first goal on a set piece things became pretty easy for the two-time defending champions.

But there’s some bad news from what otherwise was a pretty good night: Arturo Vidal left the game early in the second half after making a challenge and feeling some pain in his left thigh.
