Copa America - Chile 1 Venezuela 0

First Published: Jul 15, 2001

Chile reached the last eight of the Copa America with a 1-0 win over Venezuela.

Christian Montecinos is top scorer at the low key event after hitting his third goal in two games to win the match.

But Venezuela played well for without finding a decent finish and were undone in the 79th minute when Montecinos was left unmarked to hit in a cross shot.

The Venezuelans must now try to beat Ecuador on Monday to become one of the best third place teams to make any further progress.
