Kaio Jorge gave Brazil the dream start at Estadio Bezerrão in Brasilia with an eighth-minute strike, only for Chile to level through Joan Cruz on 25 minutes.

Cruz turned the game on its head by putting the Chileans 2-1 up on 41 minutes, before Jorge grabbed his and Brazil's second on the stroke of halftime, converting a penalty to take the sides in level at 2-2.
