The friendly match, played at the Ennio Tardini Stadium in Parma, Italy, has restored the hope of Chile, a country that had suffered a lot due to not participating in the World Cup in the last eight years and today, as in 2015 Since what happened to Peru, they have come with me. Thanks to the Argentine coach for moving forward in the near future.

Eduardo Vargas (19′) He was in charge to make it 1-0. Nothing better than this for a start. Despite the criticism he was receiving from fans and the Chilean press, Gareca decided to call him up and the forward repaid him by scoring a goal.

Marcos Bolados (83′) and Victor Davila (92′) He sentenced the match. The curiosity of the day was that Ben Brereton assisted the last goal. The Englishman of Chilean origin was criticized by ‘Tigre’ for his language and was included in the squad for these friendly fixtures due to injuries, which led to his drop to the first list. “You have to talk to him very slowly, you don’t normally do that in football,” the coach said of the England Sheffield United forward in a match preview.

It seems that this friendship is the beginning of the generational change that is much needed in Chile. For example, Gareca did not call on Arturo Vidal and left Alexis Sanchez, who came on in the second half, on the substitutes bench. But Argentina has made clear that the golden generation banner is not necessary.

The second test for the ‘Tigers’ in charge of the southern team will take place this Tuesday at the Velodrome stadium in France. La Roja will face the French side as they take on Germany at the Parc OL in Lyon today (3pm/Star+).
