Colombia's final penalty taker William Tesillo missed the target with his spot kick in the penalty shootout. The Chile captain Alexis Sanchez held his nerve and his strike made it 5-4 to secure a place in the semi-finals. Chile's dream of winning the Copa America for the third time in succession lives on. The semi-final against record winners Uruguay (15 titles) or Peru will be played in Porto Alegre in the early hours of Thursday morning. Brazil and Argentina meet in the first semi-final in Belo Horizonte the day before.
The scoreline in São Paulo was 0-0 after 90 minutes and at the end of extra time. Albeit, Chile twice thought they had scored. First of all, a goal from Charles Aránguiz was ruled out following VAR as Sanchez was offside and after the restart the referee also chalked off a goal scored by Arturo Vidal due to a handball by Guillermo Maripan again after consulting the VAR. Aránguiz had a good chance to score after 12 minutes but the Colombia keeper David Ospina kept out his header with a sensational save. The Bayer 04 pro, who has had a great tournament to date, was substituted on 67 minutes.

Under Carles Martínez, the Werkself have so far proved unbeatable at the BayArena. The Spaniard has led his team to victory in all three of their most recent home matches – and, it's worth noting, without conceding a single goal. On Sunday, 18 October (kick-off: 15:30 CEST / live on DAZN and Werkself Radio), current league leaders SC Freiburg will make the trip to Leverkusen, but will be without their top scorer. What's more, the Werkself have won all three of their previous home matches against the Black Forest club. With a goal, Patrik Schick could not only secure a fourth consecutive victory but also set a memorable record. Meanwhile, on what will be the ‘Health Day' at the BayArena, much of the focus will be on physical wellbeing. Today's matchday news.
