South American duo ease to wins

South American rivals Chile and Uruguay both enjoyed comfortable friendly victories over Zambia and Israel respectively.

Marcelo Bielsa's Chile, who are grouped with Spain, Honduras and Switzerland at the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ next month, started slowly but made a second-half improvement through two of their star players to beat Zambia 3-0. Young winger Alexis Sanchez, starting from the bench for a change, made the breakthrough in the 52nd minute. With the African minnows' goal breached, Sanchez eventually made it 2-0 six minutes from time before, two minutes later, former captain Jorge Valdivia put further gloss on the scoreline.

Fellow finals qualifiers Uruguay, meanwhile, were more impressive in overcoming Israel 4-1. Diego Forlan (14') put the South Americans in front only for Lior Rafaelov to level just before the half-hour mark. However, goals by Alvaro Pereira (36') and a double in the last six minutes from veteran striker Sebastian Abreu secured what proved to be a comfortable night's work.

Chilean striker's joy turns to despair

Chilean striker Hector Mancilla's joy at winning the Mexican league title with Toluca on Sunday turned to 2010 FIFA World Cup heartbreak on Monday when he was informed he had been cut from the finals squad by coach Marcelo Bielsa. Mancilla said he had been told by Bielsa, who coached Argentina at the 2002 World Cup finals and to the 2004 Olympic gold medal, that he had been left out for footballing reasons leaving the coach with just one more player to cut before finalising his 23-man squad.

The striker had complained recently of being left out of the loop with regard to whether he was going to South Africa for the finals, which run from 11 June to 11 July. Chile are in Group H along with Honduras, Switzerland and European champions Spain. Chile World Cup Tickets are available online.

Universidad close in on quarters

A goal by Diego Rivarola five minutes from the final whistle gave Universidad de Chile a key win in Peru over hosts Alianza Lima in the first leg of their Copa Libertadores last 16 encounter.

Alianza dominated possession from the first minute but they were unable to create any clear-cut chances. The best ones in the first half were in Universidad's counter-attacks - a shot by Juan Manuel Olivera that came back off the crossbar in the 27th minute, and one minute later Jose Contreras missed the chance after beating the Peruvian goalkeeper.

In the second half Alianza - who have not lost a game at home in the tournament - continued with their pressure on the visitors' goal but visiting goalkeeper Miguel Pinto was equal to their best efforts. Just as a goalless draw looked on the cards, the Alianza defence were caught napping and Rivarola took advantage to score the winning goal.

Universidad coach Gerardo Pelusso said: "We beat one of the best teams from the group stage, who are even stronger at home. We have to win the second leg, we don't see football in any other way. We always want to win." A victory or any draw in Chile next week will give Universidad passage to the quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, in Brazil, a hat-trick by Thiago Ribeiro gave Cruzeiro a 3-1 win over Uruguay's Nacional. The hosts took a three-goal lead in the first half but in the second they could not continue with that rhythm and the Uruguayans cut the deficit to give them a glimmer of hope for the second leg.

Thiago Ribeiro scored his first goal in the seventh minute, taking advantage of a defensive mistake, and doubled Cruzeiro's advantage with a header. In the 41st minute, Henrique provided the assist for the striker to complete his hat-trick. Nacional played much better in the second half and Mario Regueiro pulled one back to provide a little more intrigue to the return leg in Montevideo.

Finally, in Colombia, Once Caldas had to settle for a goalless draw against Paraguay's Libertad. Chile World Cup Tickets are available online.
