Lionel Messi's wonderful free-kick had given Argentina a lead in the game Eduardo Vargas (57) scored an equaliser in the second half to ensure his side was still in the game.

Argentina dominated Chile in the first half but still managed to net only one goal before the essay concluded.

Vargas levelled the scoreboard after the break as Chile took a sigh of relief. The final 30 minutes saw Argentina again dominating the game however this time the side wasn't able to break Chile's defence.
