But Alexis, not fit enough to start due to an ankle injury, came on after 58 minutes and, despite not looking fully fit, created goals for Arturo Vidal and Eduardo Vargas as Chile got their Group B campaign off to a winning start....

In the competition opener, Chile was just about worthy of its win over Ecuador, although they required a soft penalty to break the deadlock and the woodwork to keep their opponents out. The 2-0 score line probably flattered La Roja a little, although their victory has almost guaranteed their progression despite there being two games left in Group A. That is because Mexico played out an uninspiring 0-0 draw with Bolivia on Friday, meaning Jorge Sampaoli’s side is in a comfortable position at the top of the table, and Mexico will have to improve considerably if it is to challenge for top spot....

Beijing controversially still views Taiwan as part of the People’s Republic of China, and Chinese Communist Party mouthpieces said the U....
