Chile won a World Cup match after 48 years.
The last time was in 1962 when they hosted the World Cup. They beat Yugoslavia for third place.
This time the hero was Jean Beausejour although there was an element of luck involved as the ball hit midfielder Roger Espinoza’s outstretched leg, bounced up, and deflected of Beausejour as both players arrived in front of goal. Both players have CONCACAF connections.
Espinoza plays for Kansas City Wizards in the MLS. Beausejour plies his trade at Club America in the Mexican league.
