Chile had their best scoring chance in the 16th minute when Alexis Sánchez had an open opportunity in front of the goal, but his redirection went over the crossbar. The physical battle between the two teams resulted in 37 fouls and four yellow cards being shown.

Chile and Peru currently trail Argentina in Group A standings. The defending champions, Argentina, claimed a 2-0 victory over Canada in their opening match. Next, Chile will face Argentina in a rematch of the 2016 Copa America final, while Peru will take on Canada.

The Copa America tournament, featuring 14 U.S. stadiums hosting the matches, will run through June 14 and conclude in Miami Gardens, Florida. With six nations from North and Central America added to the traditional South American teams, the competition promises to be intense and exciting.
