| Arturo Vidal |
Arsenal targetted man Arturo Vidal netted in Copa America 2015. The
Juventus midfielder struck from the spot and substitute Vargas made sure of the
2-0 opening-day win for the hosts against Ecuador
Chile's bid to win a maiden Copa America title got off
to the perfect start after the host nation powered past Group A rivals Ecuador
2-0 in Santiago.
The
host nation dominated from the outset and Alexis Sanchez - a constant threat -
came close to breaking the deadlock early on but his attempted chip failed to
deceive onrushing goalkeeper Alexander Dominguez.
ArturoVidal broke the deadlock via a 67th-minute penalty and substitute Eduardo
Vargas sealed the points with six minutes remaining in the Copa opener at the
Estadio Nacional on Thursday.
Vidal stepped up and converted his own spot-kick after
he was fouled by Ecuador forward Miller Bolanos, before Vargas came off the
bench - replacing Jean Beausejour at half-time - and put the result beyond
doubt late on in the Chilean capital.
