Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo was the hero as Chile reached the Confederations Cup final by beating Portugal on penalties.

Bravo denied efforts from Ricardo Quaresma,
Joao Moutinho and Nani as Chile converted all
their spot-kicks.
It was perhaps justice for Chile, who had a
strong claim for a penalty denied deep in extra
time and also hit the post twice in quick
succession.
They will play either Germany or Mexico in
Sunday's final in St Petersburg.
Arturo Vidal, whose shot hit the post in closing
stages of extra-time before Martin Rodriguez's
follow up also hit the woodwork, was successful
from the spot for Chile along with Charles
Aranguiz and Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez.
The dramatic finale lit up an otherwise dull
encounter, with both sides looking tired after
playing their fourth game in just 10 days at the
tournament in Russia.
Bravo's performance will have come as welcome
relief for the goalkeeper at the end of a difficult
season domestically.
The 34-year-old was signed by Pep Guardiola
from Barcelona last summer to replace England
international Joe Hart, but faced criticism for his
shot-stopping skills since arriving in a £15.4m
deal.
Bravo will have to fight to remain City's first-
choice keeper after Guardiola signed Ederson
Moraes for £35m from Benfica earlier this month
but his focus for now is on leading Chile to the
Confederations Cup title.
"We are satisfied with the result and how we
played, but we have still not won anything," he
said.
To VAR or not to VAR?
Chile have reached the final on their debut
appearance at the Confederations Cup but a
decision that went against them could have been
a particularly strong talking point if they had not
progressed.
This tournament has seen the implementation of
video assistant referees (VARs) and it appeared
the system would be used in this game when, in
the final few minutes of extra time, Francisco
Silva knocked the ball past Jose Fonte inside the
box and the West Ham defender appeared to
bring down the Chile substitute inside the box.
Referee Alireza Faghani had the option to initiate
a video review of the incident but chose not to,
instead awarding a goal kick.
Chile progressed regardless in the end but it was
another controversial moment at the tournament
involving VARs.
Old rivalry renewed
The game at the Kazan Arena pitted Real Madrid
forward Cristiano Ronaldo against his former
Barcelona foil Sanchez, a mouth-watering
prospect given their form for their respective
clubs this season.
Ronaldo hit a stunning 37 goals in 42
appearances for Real and, while Sanchez scored
10 fewer, the Arsenal forward provided more
assists for his team-mates with 13 compared to
Ronaldo's 11.
Sanchez caught the eye when he created an early
opportunity for Chile, playing a defence-splitting
pass to put Eduardo Vargas through, but Portugal
goalkeeper Rui Patricio was quick off his line to
close down the gap.
After that, though, Sanchez's influence faded as
Ronaldo's grew stronger. His first contribution
was to provide a brilliant pass behind the defence
for Andre Silva, whose shot was straight at Bravo
and the Manchester City goalkeeper later denied a
stinging effort by the Portuguese forward.
Ronaldo almost won the tie for Portugal just
before the end of normal time but flicked his
header wide.
Sanchez, though, had the ultimate say,
despatching the decisive kick in the shootout for
Chile. Ronaldo, in line to take Portugal's fourth or
fifth penalty, did not even have the chance to try
and score from the spot.
