The results that serve Chile in the Copa América
As mentioned before, the only result that serves the Chilean National Team is the victory. With a victory, Gareca’s team would add four points and would pass Canada, which has only three points.. Thus, and with this score you will only have to worry and be attentive to what happens between Argentines and Peruvians.
In that commitment, It is only enough that Peru does not pass La Roja on goal difference. So far, both are at -1 and in the event of equality, everything would be defined by the team that has fewer red cards. While Chile has five yellow cards, Peru has one yellow, but one red, which he saw during the match against the North Americans.

In the last few hours, there has been various information regarding the national formation. And the eleventh would have some modifications, where Claudio Bravo would be replaced by Gabriel Arias, while Paulo Díaz would not be in the game either, giving his place to Guillermo Maripán.
