Soccer-Chile beats 1-0 El Salvador in friendly

SANTIAGO, June 5 (Reuters) - Chile beat 1-0 El Salvador in a tedious friendly on Friday, the last chance for the South Americans to get ready for the Copa America that kicks off next week.

Jorge Valdivia steered home a cross from Jean Beausejour in the 13th minute to give the Chileans the victory in a match in Rancagua that they dominated throughout.

Chile did not appear to miss midfielder Arturo Vidal and goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, both of whom are in Berlin for Saturday's Champions League final between Juventus and Barcelona.
