It’s quite unbelievable in what situations the two sides find themselves in. Holders Chile, who were expected to stroll through the group alongside Argentina, are left fighting for their lives, whereas Panama, supposedly the weakest in the group, are on the verge of a historic place in the last 8.

It all boils down to the deciding clash at Philadelphia between Chile and Panama on Wednesday. The winner will secure a second place finish, meaning a berth in the quarter-finals behind leaders Argentina.

With Chile completely out of form and Panama putting a strong display for much of the game today, the viewers may be in for an exciting third round in group D.
