The ninety-minute match of Round 16 of FIFA World Cup 2014 between Brazil and Chile ended in 1-1 draw at the Estadio Mineirao in Bele Horizonte of Brazil on Saturday night.Brazil dominated their South American rivals but they had to satisfy with a 1-1 draw before starting the extra-time game. David Luiz of Brazil put his team ahead in the 18th minute of the game.Alexis Sanchez of Chile levelled the margin by a grounder shot in the 32nd minute of the match.Brazil have won all three previous World Cup fixtures against Chile, all of which have been in the knockout stages of the tournament (Round 2 in 2010, Round 2 in 1998, and the semi final in 1962).Chile have conceded 11 goals in their three meetings with Brazil at the World Cup finals, an average of 3.7 per game.There’s no denying it, the thought of sudden World Cup elimination is on the minds of Luiz Felipe Scolari and his Brazil squad.The veteran coach wants to assure the people of the host nation, though, that nerves are nothing to be worried about.”It’s normal to feel uncomfortable and anxious ahead of this first elimination game,” Scolari said Friday, on the eve of Brazil’s second-round match againstChile. ”We are a bit more scared and nervous.”It’s normal in any competition, not only because this one is in Brazil. We know we can’t make mistakes, we can’t lose.”A win over Chile at the Mineirao Stadium will keep Brazil on track for its sixth World Cup title, while a loss would be considered a massive failure in a country which has invested billions to stage the tournament.
