Chile 1-0 SwitzerlandGonzalez 75Attendance 34,872A dejected Benaglio covers his face after concedingSwitzerlands defence was finally breached as Mark Gonzalez nodded in a deserved winner for Chile. The Swi s had defended stoutly with only 10 men since Valon Behrami had seen red for an apparent elbow in the 31st minute, but couldnt quite escape with a clean sheet.South African born Gonzalez rose to head home an Esteban Paredes cro s as the Chilean substitutes combined well to finally break the deadlock. In holding the Chileans past the 67 minute mark, Switzerland set a new record for the longest run without conceding a goal at the World Cup finals, encompa sing the 2006 finals Taylor Rogers Jersey in Germany where four clean sheets were achieved.The result leaves Chile in charge at the top of Group H, however with Spain up next in their final group match and Switzerland facing Honduras, the qualification places are far from decided.The contest had the ingredients for a lively affair; with the attack-minded Chileans taking the game to the defensively organised Swi s, however, the middle man in charge of the match was to play a significant role. Saudi referee, Khalil Al Ghamdi, was a constant interference on the game.With Fernando Rodney Jersey just 2 minutes on the clock, the first card of the match was waved in Humberto Suazos direction following a raised foot, which ultimately set the tone for the referees performance. Swi s striker Blaise Nkufo quickly found his name taken for pulling his markers shirt, as the strict refereeing continued.In-between the regular whistle blowing hold ups, it was Chile who started the brighter forcing a double save out of Diego Benaglio in the Swi s goal. First he beat away Arturo Vidals curling effort and was then quick to react to Carlos Carmonas powerfully struck attempt from the rebound.Two bookings were shown in quick succe sion as the production line of cards showed no sign of halting; Carmona hauled down Behrami with a reckle s challenge in what was the first challenge recognisably worthy of a booking, which rules him out of the final group game against Spain. He was quickly followed by team mate, Waldo Ponce into the referees notebook, punished for a high foot. A loose pa s-back nearly gifted the Swi s an opening goal, but Claudio Bravo was alert and quick off his line to deny the on-rushing Nkufo.The pivotal moment arrived on 31 minutes as the increasingly inevitable took place, as Behrami was the unlucky man to be dismi sed. Behrami fended off the pre sure applied by firstly Jean Beausejour and then Vidal with his arm, with both Jorge Polanco Jersey Chileans reacted eccentrically following the minimal contact. The a sistant referee immediately intervened and the West Ham man was instantly shown red, sending the Swi s camp into fury.Valon Behrami cannot believe he has been dismi sedTranquillo Barnetta was brought on in the place of the returning Alexander Frei on 42 minutes, as they reverted to a 4-4-1 formation. Chile upped the tempo and created decent chances as half time approached. Suazo failed to keep his headed attempt down after Beausejour had fashioned a great cro s from the left and Alexis Sanchez fired straight at Benaglio after bringing down a cro s neatly on his chest.Chile made two attacking changes at the break as they looked to utilise their numerical advantage, and they thought theyd made the breakthrough early on as Alexis Sanchezs shot deflected past Benaglio, but his celebrations were cut short as three Chile players were in offside positions. Meanwhile, Barnetta was the next to be added to the booked player column as he pulled down Beausejour. Chile continued to pre s forward and a mistake by Steve von Bergen enabled Sanchez to run through on goal, but he slightly over-ran it and allowed Benaglio to block at his feet.The stop-start nature of the game continued with the card-happy referee adding Gokhan Inler, Gary Medel and Matias Fernandez to his naughty list. Most baffling off his latest decisions was Fernandezs booking, for which no offence was obvious, he now also mi ses the Spain clash.As Chiles frustrations began to show, the breakthrough finally arrived as substitute Paredes nipped through the Swi s backline to round the on-rushing Benaglio, pushed out wide, he kept a calm head to find fellow sub Gonzalez with a pinpoint cro s for him to head home the crucial goal. Replays showed Paredes was marginally Bert Blyleven Jersey offside as he made his run, but Chiles perseverance and dominance allays themof theirstroke of luck.Mark Gonzalez nods in the winning goalThe Swi s sent on forwards Erin Derdiyok and Albert Bunjaku in search of an unlikely equaliser, but it was Chile substitute Paredes that should have ended the contest on two occasions. A thumping volley cleared goalkeeper and cro sbar firstly, following good play by Gonzalez, then moments later Paredes cut inside well before shooting inches wide.Chiles wasteful finishing was nearly punished in the 90th minute as Switzerland fashioned their best attempt of the match. A delightful back-heel by Bunjaku found Derdiyok in acres of space 12 yards from goal, but his side-footed effort drifted the wrong side of Bravo Kyle Gibson Jersey s post as Switzerland mi sed the opportunity to snatch a point.It was fitting that the Saudi official would have the last impact on the game as he produced his final yellow card to Jorge Valdivia for diving in the box, in what was his best decision all day.TeamsChile Bravo, Ponce, Isla, Medel, Jara, Carmona, Vidal (Gonzalez, 46), Fernandez (Paredes, 65), Sanchez, Suazo (Valdivia, 46), BeausejourBooked Suazo, Carmona, Ponce, Fernandez, Medel, ValdiviaSwitzerland Benaglio, Lichtsteiner, Grichting, von Bergen, Ziegler, Behrami, Inler, Huggel, Fernandes (Bunjaku, 77), Frei (Barnetta, 42), Nkufo (Derdiyok, 68)Booked Inler, Barnetta, NkufoSent Off Behrami
