Pretty much a must-win for Spain with 3 points. Chile are on 6 are most likely guaranteed a spot. Switzerland will most likely beat Honduras taking them up to 6 points, meaning between Spain and Chile, one of them will likely be eliminated... and both will be on 6 points. Amazing!

Gee Chile are in a bit of trouble atm. In real danger of being knocked out, depending on how the Swiss do against Hondouras.

Down 2-0, in the first half, and also down a man. Second yellow on Estrada, for a trip on Torres, was a bit harsh since it seemed to be inadvertent.

Gee this game has turned.

Chile were looking pretty good there for a while, but that first goal really opened the floodgates, a terrible decision and mistake from the Chilean keeper, and a great finish by Villa.

That second yellow though has ruined the game, once again the refs get it wrong, it really is becoming the story of the tournament, can't see Chile coming back in this one, although with the Swiss doing very little against Honduras, they may still go through

What a f**king farce. A potentially brilliant match being ruined by an absolute joke of a referee. I simply cannot understand how on earth this guy is officiating at the biggest football tournament on Earth. At least we know what happened to us v Germany isn't a one off...

Chile have been attacking real well. Wouldn't mind Marcelo Biesla coaching the Socceroos, he could really change us

Lovely movement for Iniesta's goal. Only real worry for Spain has been Torres. Seems way off his game. His first touch has been terrible. Man I love watching Sanchez play. So much talent and so young.

The second yellow was harsh, since it was inadvertent, but I've seen fouls given for it before.

Atmosphere, especially from the Chile fans, was so refreshing to hear.

Torres coming off in the 55th min for Fabregas. Shattered.

Will allow Villa to slot back into the lone striker role

Feels like we've been here before. Spain dominating play but unable to convert their domination into goals. Could come back to hurt them.
