2) Bolivia don’t deserve to be on the losing side
Trending
Having lost their last 6 consecutive games, La Verde thought they had arrested the run with a draw against Chile, but lady luck was not on their side.
In the 100th minute with Chile pushing for a winner, the linesman called a handball inside the box and asked the match official to award a penalty to Chile and Vidal made the most of it. The decision was highly debatable as it’s not totally clear whether the ball hit Luis Gutierrez’s hand but Bolivia were left to rue their luck.
They had frustrated Chile with their stringent defending in the first half and showed great quality when they scored the equaliser. If anything, Bolivia at least deserved to walk away with a point from this match.
