Chile host Dominican Republic at the Estadio Sausalito on Friday (June 16) in a friendly
The hosts have endured a horrid run of results over the last year but have begun retracing their steps under manager Eduardo Berizzo. Chile beat Cuba 3-0 in a friendly on Sunday. Rodrigo Echeverria's strike was sandwiched between goals from Norwich City's Marcelino Nunez.
Meanwhile, Dominican Republic endured a difficult CONCACAF Nations League campaign, prompting the dismissal of manager Inaki Bea. They have enjoyed a positive start to life under new boss Marcelo Neveleff, beating Belize 2-0 in their last game, thanks to goals from Edarlyn Reyes and Nowend Lorenzo.
The visitors have been out of action since March.
