Chile have made it into the Confederations Cup final by beating Portugal 3-0 on penalties, thanks to their brilliant goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

The two sides just couldn’t break the deadlock in regulation and extra time at the Kazan arena on Wednesday.

The Chileans’ best chance came in the dying seconds of extra time when they hit the woodwork with two successive shots.

And, in the shootout, the magnificent Bravo saved 3 successive spot kicks from Ricardo Quaresma, Joao Moutinho and Nani while Chile converted their first 3 kicks to win the enthralling encounter between the South American and European champions. Chile will next play either Mexico or Germany in the final.
