The Chilean goal came from a brilliant through ball by Arturo Vidal, a player renowned for his stints at Juventus, Bayern Munich, and Flamengo, who found Carlos Palacios unmarked in the box. The former Vasco and Inter player had time to control the ball and placed a low shot into the corner past goalkeeper Armani.
