Chile finished as runner-up of Group B at the Confederations Cup on Sunday after drawing Australia 1-1. Needing only a point, the Chileans were headed toward a shocking defeat but got a goal in a second half to clinch and move on to Wednesday's semifinal.
The Aussies actually took the lead 42 minutes in when James Troisi finished cleverly in front of Claudio Bravo.
