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.

Bielsa axes five

Chile coach Marcelo Bielsa has dropped five players from his provisional FIFA World Cup squad following their 1-0 friendly defeat to Mexico yesterday.

Iturra's exclusion comes after he was sent off just two minutes after coming on as a substitute in yesterday's defeat to El Tri in Mexico City. Bielsa has now reduced his squad to 25 players with two more to miss out when the final lists are named on 1 June.
