Thank you for following the commentary and do join us next time for our LIVE coverage of both the Copa America and the Euros. Ciao!

09:38 (IST)7 JUN 2016

09:38 (IST)7 JUN 2016

09:37 (IST)7 JUN 2016

Phew! What a match it was! Some brilliant attacking display by both teams gave us a very entertaining match. It has just been announced that Di Maria unsurprisingly is the man of the match

09:35 (IST)7 JUN 2016

FT: Argentina 2-1 Chile

09:35 (IST)7 JUN 2016

The Chilean substitute headed in the goal from a well taken free-kick by the other substitute Orralena. But I think it will be nothing more than a compensation goal.

09:34 (IST)7 JUN 2016

09:33 (IST)7 JUN 2016

90+3' GOOOOOAAALLLLLLL! Chile have a goal in the dying seconds of the game thanks to Fuenzalida

09:31 (IST)7 JUN 2016

90+2' That should have been 3 for Argentina! It is Lamela who has the chance again but it is saved brilliantly by Bravo

09:29 (IST)7 JUN 2016

3 minutes have been added on

09:28 (IST)7 JUN 2016

90' CHANCE! With Chile pressing high up the pitch, Lamela finds himself in acres of space but the shot is curled just wide

09:26 (IST)7 JUN 2016

09:24 (IST)7 JUN 2016

86' SO CLOSE! Aguero sends in a brilliant cross from the right-hand side which finds Marcus Rojo. The left-back's header goes narrowly wide of the post. That was some brilliant play by Kun Aguero

09:21 (IST)7 JUN 2016

09:21 (IST)7 JUN 2016

83' Aguero has looked bright since he has come on. Do you think he deserves to start the game ahead of Higuain next time?

09:18 (IST)7 JUN 2016

09:18 (IST)7 JUN 2016

80' Argentina's standout performer Di Maria comes off after a brilliant display. He is replaced by Erik Lamela. Boy do Argentina have quality options in attack

09:15 (IST)7 JUN 2016

09:13 (IST)7 JUN 2016

76' SHOT! Aguero shows some lovely feet to create an opening for himself just outside the box, but his shot goes well over the bar

09:11 (IST)7 JUN 2016

73' Argentina make their first substitution with Sergio Aguero coming on for Higuain. What a player to get on from the bench!

09:09 (IST)7 JUN 2016

71' The crowd is chanting MESSI! MESSI! MESSI! Will we see the Argentine maestro?

09:08 (IST)7 JUN 2016

69' Marcus Rojo goes into the book for being a bit too rough in his tackle

09:07 (IST)7 JUN 2016

68' Vargas goes off and he is replaced by Pinnila

09:07 (IST)7 JUN 2016

68' SAVE! This time it is Romero! Vidal's shot from 25 yards was on target but it was saved well by Romero

09:05 (IST)7 JUN 2016

66' SAVE! Argentina almost make it 3! Di Maria is once again the architect as he sets up Higuain whose shot from a tight angle on the right is saved well by Bravo

09:03 (IST)7 JUN 2016

64' THINGS ARE HEATING UP! Di Maria goes down under pressure from Gary Medel who is not happy with the Argentine's theatrics. Both of them go into the book

09:01 (IST)7 JUN 2016

62' Argentina have just taken the game to the opposition and Di Maria has been absolutely brilliant tormenting the Chile back line

08:59 (IST)7 JUN 2016

Argentina 2 - 0 Chile

08:59 (IST)7 JUN 2016

The roles are reversed this time as Di Maria is the provider and Banega is the scorer. The shot takes a wicked deflection of Isla and fools Bravo at the near post! Infact, it is being credited as an Isla own goal

08:56 (IST)7 JUN 2016

59' GOOOOAAAALLLLLLLLL! Argentina score again! Ever Banega scores!

08:54 (IST)7 JUN 2016

55' More bad news for Chile as Mena goes down injured. He is replaced by Orellana

08:53 (IST)7 JUN 2016

08:52 (IST)7 JUN 2016

Ever Banega did a brilliant job in midfield to rob Chile off the ball! he plays a brilliant pass to Di Maria who takes a touch and slots the ball past Bravo into the bottom corner! Brilliant goal by Di Maria

08:48 (IST)7 JUN 2016

50' GOOOOOOAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! Argentina take the lead thanks to Angel Di Maria!

08:45 (IST)7 JUN 2016

47' CHANCE! Alexis Sanchez tries to curl one into the top corner but the shot is too close to Romero who catches the ball safely. Chile have started the second half brightly

08:44 (IST)7 JUN 2016

46' Chile almost score immediately! Marcelo Diaz strikes a powerful shot from behind which is deflected just wide of the goal for a corner. The resulting corner is cleared easily by the Argentine defence

08:42 (IST)7 JUN 2016

Chile get us underway in the second half!

08:41 (IST)7 JUN 2016

The second half is about to begin! Will Aguero or Messi come on for the Albicelesete? Only time will tell

08:34 (IST)7 JUN 2016

08:33 (IST)7 JUN 2016

Look at what Arsenal had tweeted before the game

08:29 (IST)7 JUN 2016

08:27 (IST)7 JUN 2016

HT: The first half ends and boy has it been an entertaining half! Although there have been no goals, there have been plenty of chances for both teams to score! I cannot wait for the second half to begin

08:26 (IST)7 JUN 2016

44' Mauricio Isla goes into the book for a cynical foul on Gaitan. Second player from Chile to get a caution

08:23 (IST)7 JUN 2016

43' Chile almost hit back immediately through Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean makes a brilliant run into the box but some brilliant defending by Funes Mori denies Sanchez

08:20 (IST)7 JUN 2016

41' CLOSE! Argentina play some lovely football with Gaitan, Di Maria and Higuain combining well. Finally Di Maria's cross finds Mercado on the edge of the box whose shot goes narrowly wide! I cannot believe the game is still goalless

08:17 (IST)7 JUN 2016

38' Although the game remains scoreless, it has been a fantastic watch with both sides creating plenty of openings!

08:12 (IST)7 JUN 2016

32' SAVE! Sanchez is really looking in the mood today. After a mazy run, Sanchez is brought down cynically by Rojo. The resulting free-kick is saved well by Romero

08:08 (IST)7 JUN 2016

29' STUNNING SAVE! Sergio Romero makes a crucial save to deny Chile's Alexis Sanchez. Chile's two biggest names Vidal and Sanchez combine brilliantly but Sanchez's shot is saved really well by Romero

08:06 (IST)7 JUN 2016

24' The game is being played with a lot of intensity and passion with plenty of tackles flying in!

08:03 (IST)7 JUN 2016

21' CLOSE! Double Chance! Argentina were so close to opening the scoring! Di Maria breaks at lightning speed and sets up Higuain whose shot is blocked for a corner. The resulting corner finds an unmarked Rojo whose header sails just above the crossbar
