...
90+2' The pressure on Chile is released as Bailey's cross from the right is headed well wide of goal, with Bravo barely moving a muscle.
...
90' 4 minutes of stoppage time.
...
90' Australia look to have given up the ghost - the Socceroos are playing at a very slow pace - there's no tempo at the moment, as Australia need two goals.
...
87' Sanchez and Vidal work incredibly hard to ensure that Australia aren't comfortable when the Socceroos have possession. You can still see the Bielsa in this team, even after all these years!
...
84' Chile attempt to kill the game off by passing the ball around the back, with Marcelo Diaz heavily involved in retaining possession.
...
82' Eduardo Vargas is replaced by Marcelo Diaz for Chile - it seems Pizzi is holding on for the draw.
...
Meanwhile Timo Werner has put Germany 3-1 up, they are all set to top this group, with Chile second.
...
79' We have a man down as McGowan is bleeding from his head after challenging for an aerial ball with Vargas. It seems as though the Chilean caught him unintentionally with his elbow.
...
76' WHAT ARE YOU DOING CLAUDIO?! Bravo comes out to force Kruse wide of goal, but then follows him out of the box to the right channel as well, but the Man City keeper is bailed out by his defender, who nicks the ball off Kruse's feet.
...
74' SHOT! Martin Rodriguez nearly makes me bust out the old 'London buses' cliche as he shoots wide of goal in the box after working a yard of space on the left side.
...
72' HOW DID HE MISS THAT?! Troisi chips a clever ball from the left to MacLaren in the box. The substitute has the goal at his mercy, but miscues his finish, with Bravo forcing him into a shot well wide off the post.
...
72' Bailey Wright comes on for Trent Sainsbury
...
70' HOW DID HE MISS?! Alexis with some incredible upper pace and strength to get past Milligan to the left byline and cut the ball back to Vargas, but he glances his header inches wide of the post!
...
67' Vidal does brilliantly to pass the ball to Mena with a diving header. He sends in a cross from the left wing to Vargas at the far post and the Chilean forward gets a flick on to Rodriguez running past Sainsbury in the box. He manages to finish past Ryan in the Australian goal with a deflected effort and score his first goal for his country! Chile 1-1 Australia!
...
67' GOAAAL MARTIN RODRIGUEZ!
...
65' Troisi has all the time in the world in midfield to line up a shot from range, and the Aussie goal-scorer hammers a left-footed shot that flies inches over the top corner, with Bravo looking standed.
...
Meanwhile, Germany lead Cameroon by a 2-0 scoreline, with the African side down to 10 men.
...
63' WHAT A CHANCE! Troisi lofts a beautiful diagonal ball into the box and Kruse cannot control the ball with the goal at his mercy!
...
62' J Maclaren replaces Juric for Australia
...
60' As things stand, Germany lead Group B with 7 points - they will face Mexico in the semifinals. Chile are tied with Australia on 4 points, but lead them on goal-difference - they will face Portugal in the semifinals.
...
59' SHOT! Vidal causes chaos by winning a long ball, with Sanchez running on to the second ball and then toe-poking a shot towards goal that nearly caught out Ryan.
...
57' Vidal goes into the book for a high boot that caught Luongo
...
57' Tim Cahill comes off to be replaced by Mathew Leckie.
...
55' HEADER! Cahill (who else?) rises highest from a left wing corner and sends a header at goal, but Bravo positions himself well to collect the Australian legend's effort.
...
54' Bravo iss on hand to deny Australia again - punching the ball clear from a corner. Chile can be grateful that their much-maligned goalkeeper has ensured that they are still in this game so far.
...
52' NEARLY! Juric is breathing a sigh of relief that the whistle blew for offside after running clear of the Chile defence with Bravo making a great save from his shot.
...
51' SAVE! Vargas takes a first-time shot after running on to a long ball from a narrow angle, but Ryan is on hand to punch the ball away.
...
48'  LUCKY! Vargas attempts to dribble the ball out of his own box, but the referee blows for a very generous foul.
...
Meanwhile, Germany take the lead against Cameroon with Demirbay getting his first goal for Die Mannschaft. 
...
46' AND WE'RE OFF! Chile get us underway in the second half!
...
HT: Pablo Hernandez comes on to replace Charles Aranguiz
...
HT: Martin Rodriguez comes on to replace Jose Fuenzalida
...
The teams exit the tunnel for the second half - Kickoff is coming up next!
...
The last time Australia won a Confederations Cup match - it was sixteen years ago, in 2001! Will they hold on and go one better to dump Chile out of the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup? Kickoff in the second half is coming up... Stay tuned!
...
HT: Chile 0-1 Australia
...
45+2' HOW DID HE MISS?! Cahill wins a flick on in the box and Sainsbury has the goal at his mercy, but blazes his effort well over the bar!

45' SO CLOSE!!! Fuenzalida sends a beautiful ball to Vidal at the far post, and his downward header is saved by Ryan with the rebound being blocked by multiple Australian shirts in the box.
...
As things stand, Australia need another goal, as Chile still lead them on goal difference in 2nd place.
...
42' Sainsbury wins the ball in midfield and charges into the box, backheeling it to Luongo on the edge of the box. With Jara nearby, the ball is deflected to Troisi all alone at the far post and he responds with a delicious lob over Bravo to give Australia a precious lead! Chile 0-1 Australia!
...
42' GOOOAL JAMES TROISIIII!!!
...
40' NEARLY! Tim Cahill curls a pass from the right wing as Australia counter-attack, but Juric is a wee bit too one-paced to get to the ball.
...
39' Aranguiz's delivery from the set piece is cleared initially, but Chile regain possession with Fuenzalida sending in a cross from the right wing and finding P Diaz in the box, who watches in agony as his effort flies wide of the post.
...
38' Great defending from Sainsbury as he prevents Vargas from running on to Vidal's long ball from deep. Chile have a corner...
...
36' BRAVO! Troisi chips a gorgeous ball from the left channel to Luongo making a clever run into the box from midfield, but Bravo closes him down to block the Australian midfielder's first time shot from close range! The best chance for Australia so far!
...
34' VAR notes that Tim Cahill's yellow card stands. Lucky, that - I've seen them given.
...
33' Tim Cahill slides in late to catch Aranguiz with an awful scissor tackle from behind is and is lucky to escape a red card. VAR is called to verify whether that was a red card.
...
31' Troisi grabs a handful of Vidal's shirt in the middle of the park and goes into the book for shoving him the to floor.
...
30' As things stand Chile remain on top of Group B, as Germany and Cameroon is goalless at the moment.
