Our referee today is Khalil Al Ghamdi from Saudi Arabia. Respect his authority.
90 seconds in Card happy ref Khalil Al Ghamdi the respect my authority Referee came out early to dominate this game to bad no one told him we were all here to Chile vs. Switzerland not “Khalil Al Ghamdi ” vs. Chile vs. Switzerland.
Constant game stoppage combined with excessive abuses of power from the Ref Khalil Al Ghamdi has turned this game into a choppy frustrating event. Switzerland is trying to hang on for a tie or a even a win.
The Yellow cards were a plenty and 1 red until Videl gives the Swiss the wag of his finger after a slap happy event inside the box and it looked like another red card but it up came the yellow.
Switzerland playing with 10 men provided an exciting defence and you have to wonder what the outcome of this game would have been if they could go back in time to just before the red card. Behrami flails an elbow in the face of two Chile players then he repeated it on Arturo Vidal and is sent off!
47 minutes in and the ref wants a word with Gonzalez for a challenge. Then it’s a yellow card for Barnetta for tugging, no happy ending from this ref.
There was football fortune to be decided during the last ten minutes of the Chile vs. Switzerland game. The Swiss defence remained vigilant to the Chilean attach until Marc Gonzales makes it 1 zilch for Chile with a fine header.
The Swizz were looking for an offside card but it never came.
Vital goal for Chile
In the last ten minutes the Swiss press hard but with only ten men and time running out it all seems to be an uphill hike for them. With the ref blowing free kick to each side every couple of minutes it has become a difficult match to watch.
Frustration is what the Swiss side is feeling as Chile pressure them again. So much is at stake here at each side has three points.
What a chance by Didiock and where were the Chilean defence this time. What an opportunity with 3 minutes of stoppage time.
Booking for Donely inside the box? No it’s given to Chile
It has to be now for Switzerland
Great crossing position as they attach but the whistle blows. It’s back to the drawing board for Switzerland.\
Mark Gonzales proved to score the winning goal. This one was a nail bitter and a solid defence was presented by the Swiss.
Chile has 6 points now and after setting a record for the longest run without giving up a goal in world Cup; they appear to be ready for the best the world has to offer.
