translated from Spanish: The specialty of the house: Chile qualifies for Copa America semi-finals after defeating Colombia (and the VAR) on penalties

In a tactically perfect match, Chile defeated Colombia via penalties, after tying 0-0 in regulation time, although it could finish 2–0 as Red was shot twice by red via the VAR.
At the start of the meeting, Colombia came out to ratify its category of only selection that got perfect score in the group stage. And he succeeded, as he had Chile locked up. Chile then began to show their game, so it won its well-deserved award following a goal by Charles Aránguiz in the 17th minute. However, Argentine referee Nelson Pitana annulled the goal via the VAR, as Alexis Sanchez was dubiously advanced.
The second half continued with the same tonic. Chile dominated and Colombia did not come close. In the 71st minute, Arturo Vidal scored again but, again, the VAR annulled the goal due to a hand from Guillermo Maripán.
That’s how the match ended, so they defined the passage to the semi-finals through penalty kicks. There, the Chileans scored all their goals. Vidal, Eduardo Vargas, Erick Pulgar, Aránguiz and Sánchez masterfully defined their shots. Meanwhile, Colombia missed one, the shot of William Tesillo.
With this result, Chile awaits the winner of the Peru-Uruguay match on Wednesday.
