‘Chile put in a great effort’

Chile Coach Jorge Sampaoli wasn’t too critical of his side after the 2-0 defeat to the Netherlands.

The result means the South Americans end Group B in second place but according to AS, Sampaoli was relatively happy with the team’s performance.

“Unfortunately we didn’t find the arguments to equalise,” Sampaoli said.

“It was a very close match to try and get back in and make changes but we didn’t give up and the players put in a great effort.

“The Netherlands sat back and we looked for an equaliser but it was very complicated.

“We wanted to be top but now we have to think of Group A and what comes next.”

Chile will meet the winners of Group A in the next round.
