Chile and Uruguay spent the first 45 minutes deciding who would play the second 45 with a yellow card.
A late first-half injury saw Arturo Vidal’s knee bend, the Chileans frittered away a number of good-looking chances, while Uruguay are still seeking to score a goal.
Edinson Cavani received a second yellow after slapping Gonzalo Jara in the face in the 63rd minute — retaliating to an uncalled slap from Jara — and had to be restrained before departing the match.

With no extra time being
played in the tournament, Mauricio Isla scored a late winner to
hand Chile a 1-0 victory and a place in the Copa America semi-finals.
Uruguay were reduced to nine men when a second yellow card was shown to
Jorge Fucile, who was also pulled away from the officials before Chile's
victory was finally confirmed.
