JAKARTA - Chile has successfully topped the 2021 Copa America Group A standings after a narrow 1-0 win over Bolivia at the Pantanal Arena, Cuiaba on Saturday morning WIB.

According to FIFA's official website records, in this match, Chile played attacking since the match started and as a result they were able to take the lead in the 10th minute.

Chile's goal stems from a quick attack from the defense. The ball moved quickly and was received by Eduardo Vargas before being passed to Ben Brereton who successfully ripped apart Bolivia's goalkeeper Carlos Lampe's goal. The score became 1-0.

Another chance to get Chile in the 17th minute. This time, the efforts of Jean Meneses could still be thwarted by Carlos Lampe, as reported by Antara.

In the 36th minute, Chile wasted a chance to double the position. Vargas' shot, which was only one-on-one with the goalkeeper, was still too high from the Bolivian goal.

Entering the second half, Bolivia began to be bolder out to attack. However, possession of the ball is still held by La Roja.

Bolivia almost equalized in the 56th minute. Erwin Saavedra's kick can still be driven by Chile's veteran goalkeeper, Claudio Bravo.

In injury time, Chile had broken into Bolivia's goal. However, Eugenio Mena's goal was disallowed by the referee because the player was already in an offside position.

The score 1-0 for Chile's victory lasted until the game was over. This result puts Chile as the leader of Group A Copa America 2021 with four points from two matches. While Bolivia is in a distended position without points.
