Chile 3 - Venezuela 2

Chile visited Venezuela in a match to determine which team would jump into the top five of South American qualifying. The scoreless first half gave no indication of the upcoming goal binge in the subsequent period. Venezuela opened the tally with a low, long-range free kick goal that deflected off of a Chilean defender and into the net. Chile equalized on a penalty kick after Venezuela's Miguel Mea Vitali tripped Alexis Sánchez inside of the box. Chile went ahead 2-1 off of a spot kick that was tapped in, but Venezuela equalized with a fastbreak conversion. Venezuela nearly scored the winning goal twice, but it was Chile that won 3-2 thanks to a beautiful shot two minutes into stoppage time.
