The Werkself number 20 played the full 90 minutes in midfield and he repaid the confidence shown by Chile coach Reinaldo Rueda with two assists at 1-0 and 3-0 and he also started the move for the second goal – the 29-year-old was voted Man of the Match by the fans. The win takes Chile to the top of Group C ahead of Uruguay, Japan and Ecuador. La Roja play the last-named team next on Saturday (22 June, 01.00 CET).

Bailey provides assist

Leon Bailey made a successful start to his international career. Playing in his home town of Kingston, he featured in the first group match in the Gold Cup (15 June to 7 July in the USA, Costa Rica and Jamaica) - also overnight - with Jamaica winning 3-2 against Honduras. The victory sees Jamaica lead Group C in the championships of North and Central America plus the Caribbean. The 21-year-old, who made his debut for the Reggae Boyz wearing the number 7 shirt, went the full distance and also provided the assist from the left flank for the opener scored by Dever Orgil. Bailey and Jamaica take on second-placed El Salvador next on Saturday (22 June, 01.00 CET).
