Internatonal Friendly: England 0 v 2 Chile

England 0 v 2 Chile Sanchez (7, 90)
First Half: Jones header from Lallana free kick denied by a good save. Goal! 0-1, Sanchez header from centre of box to near side corner. Beusejeur shot pushed away from Forster. Lampard long range free kick tipped over the bar. Wilshere driven shot parried away. Medel heads over the bar from a corner. Jones puts an effort just wide of the post from a corner. Lallana shot deflected wide of the post. 
Half Time: 0-1.
Second Half: Johnson fires over the bar from long range. Goal! 0-2, Sanchez through on goal and neatly chips the ball past Forster inside the near post. Rooney curls an effort wide of the far post. 
Full Time: 0-2.



My Opinion:
My man of the match was Sanchez. This was a challenging match for England but it was a good test against a very well drilled team. The manager gave some of the fringe players a game and it was good experience for those new to the national side. Ultimately, it was a weary performance from England who will now look to bounce back against Germany in the next friendly. Chile were impressive and deserved to win. Sanchez was the best player on the pitch and proved to be the major difference between the two sides. After that victory, Chile will prove to be a tough draw in the World Cup. 

Best Goal: Sanchez (2)
