Spain met their match in the second group game in Australia. Chile were one of the sides who used up their full quota of overage players, with Inter Milan's Iván Zamorano Auxerre`s Pedro Reyes and keeper Nelson Tapia adding weight to their side. Iñaki Saez made one change to his side, bringing in Valencia's Angulo to join Tamudo up front. Udinese's David Pizarro was however their star together with Zamorano, and his was the cross after leaving Amaya stranded that set up the first goal for Olarra. Earlier Velamazán could have given Spain the lead if his shot had not gone over the bar, and Capdevila brought a good save out of Tapia with a header. But it was Chile who went further ahead shortly before the break after Zamorano, lying on the ground near the goal line after being well tackled by a Spanish defender, stuck out a foot and knocked the ball past Aranzubia and across the goal mouth. Navia was quicker than the defence and ran on to score. Spain pulled one back with a bit of fortune in the second half, Ormazábal's clearance striking Lacruz on the head and rebounding back into the net. Amaya and Xavi went close to equalizing, but with a minute left it was Zamorano again, with a square pass to Navia who finished off neatly. After the match there was a set to between the Spanish players and Zamorano, either for a late tackle or for something he said. Spain now go on to play Morocco on Wednesday, and really need to win to qualify for the next stage.
