"Copa America": Chile Crowned Champions by Defeating Rivals (PHOTO, VIDEO)

Chile became the first team to reach the semi-finals of the "Copa America" tournament. In the quarterfinals, the Chileans beat Uruguay, who were defending champions, with a score of 1:0.

With just a few minutes left before the end of the match, the decisive goal was scored by Mauricio Isla. This was only the third goal by the footballer in the national team.

After an hour of play, Uruguay lost one of their leaders, Edinson Cavani, who received a second yellow card.

Later, Jorge Fucile was also expelled for a foul on Alexis Sanchez. To make matters worse, Uruguay's national team coach, Óscar Tabárez, was also sent off.

In the semi-finals, Chile will face either Peru or Bolivia.
