Chile beat Swiss 1-0, close in on last 16 place

Chile took a huge step towards qualifying for the World Cup last 16 on Monday after defeating Switzerland 1-0 in their Group H match.

A second-half goal by former Liverpool player Mark Gonzalez was enough to give the Chileans a second win in as many matches as the Swiss finished the match with 10 men after West Ham midfielder Valon Behrami was red carded in the first-half.

Chile can qualify automatically later on Monday should Spain and Honduras draw – the Swiss are still in contention ahead of the final group match with Honduras as they have three points.
