Even though history says that Argentina has the upper hand when facing Chile, things take a little turn to the positive side when Los Andinos host La Albiceleste at Estadio Nacional de Santiago. Of course, stats say Argentina has an overwhelming record against Chile in any competition, but when it comes to games played at the historic Chilean venue, it gets better for the hosts.
La Roja has played six games against Argentina in the very stadium the Copa América final will be staged. In each and every one of those games, Chile was not only able to hold their ground, but they remain unbeaten while playing in the old Estadio Nacional. In fact, Chile's only win in an official match came during Argentina's last visit, with the game ending 1-0 back in 2008, when La Roja, coached by Marcelo Bielsa, managed to defeat La Albiceleste with one goal by Fabián Orellana.
Fabián Orellana was nicknamed "El Histórico" (The Historic One) after his game-winning goal against Argentina.
Here's a breakdown of Chile's wins over Argentina while playing at home.
-
November 1959: Chile 4-2 Argentina (F)
-
August 1967: Chile 1-0 Argentina (F)
-
November 1967: Chile 3-1 Argentina (F)
-
December 1968: Chile 2-1 Argentina (F)
-
July 1973: Chile 3-1 Argentina (F)
-
October 2008: Chile 1-0 Argentina (WCQ)
Maybe Chile's overall record against La Albiceleste has them starting this game as the underdog, but their stats at Estadio Nacional may give their fans a little hope about their chances of winning their first South American title.
