Chile had a fine performance yesterday beating Peru 3-0. With two goals by Eduardo Vargas and one more by Gary Medel, Jorge Sampaoli's squad showed their class to top their South American opponents.
The downside for the Chileans was the injury to Gary Medel. After scoring his goal, Rinaldo Cruzado threw an elbow to the midfielder's mouth. As a result, Medel had to leave the pitch after 44 minutes with two broken teeth.
