Portugal's decision to send Cristiano Ronaldo on the fifth position cost them dearly as Bravo saved three spot kicks back to back. Chile goalkeeper Claudio Bravo saved three successive penalties to give them a 3-0 shootout win over Portugal after their Confederations Cup semi-final had ended goalless on Wednesday. The result was justice for Chile after they hit the woodwork with two successive shots in the dying seconds of extra time. "Claudio was amazing and the penalty takers were amazing and I think we deserve to be in the final," said Chile coach Juan Antonio Pizzi. Portugal coach Fernando Santos pointed out that the same three players who missed on Wednesday all took penalties and converted when his side beat Poland in their Euro 2016 quarter-final.
