Uruguay threatened when the game has been running for 10 minutes. Receiving a ball from Luis Suarez, Giorgian De Arrascaeta fired a low shot from inside the penalty box, but Claudio Bravo's effort could still be suppressed.
In the 26th minute, Chile managed to break the deadlock. Eduardo Vargas did a slick combination with Ben Bereton from the left side of the Uruguay defense.
Vargas freed and stabbed into the penalty box. He opened fire from a narrow-angle that could not be dammed Fernando Muslera. Chile winning 1-0.
Uruguay who were left behind tried to respond. In the 28th minute, they had a chance to equalize from Luis Suarez's hard kick. However, Bravo can still handle it.
The 1-0 score for Chile's advantage lasted until the first half ended.
After the break, Uruguay appeared pressing. In the 66th minute, Facundo Torres fired from outside the box, but Bravo was still too tough to beat.
A minute later Uruguay's efforts paid off. Starting from Torres' corner kick, the ball which was headed by Matias Vecino could fail to be swept well by Arturo Vidal into his own goal. La Celeste equalized 1-1.
After the own goal, the match was fierce with both teams chasing the winning goal.
In the 79th minute, Chile had a golden opportunity to regain the lead through Luciano Arriagada's flick after getting Charles Aranguiz's rebound. Unfortunately, these efforts have not resulted in goals.
In the 84th minute, Uruguay's turn to threaten through Edinson Cavani. His header after grabbing a cross was still wide of the Bravo goal.
The 1-1 position did not change until the game was over. This draw brought Chile to the top of the standings with five points.
They are one point ahead of second-placed Argentina who has only played after this match against Paraguay. Meanwhile, Uruguay is in the fourth position with one point.
