Brazil secured a dramatic penalty shootout win against Chile to reach the QF
Having never lost to La Roja on home soil and having beaten them on all three of their previous World Cup meetings, Brazil arrived with history on their side.
Chile earned a 2-2 draw at the same venue last year but that was one of only two encounters in which they avoided defeat since last beating Brazil 14 years ago

Brazilian Goalkeeper Julio Cesar was the hero, making two crucial spot-kick saves - saved from Mauricio Pinilla and Alexis Sanchez as Brazil went on to win a tense shootout 3-2.
David Luiz and Marcelo had converted their efforts for Brazil, but with Willian and Hulk missing theirs, it fell to the hosts' star striker Neymar to step up under intense pressure and calmly slot home what proved the winning kick

only for Alexis Sanchez to equalise.
Hulk then had a strike disallowed for handball by English referee Howard Webb - fairly, but much to the anger of the home fans.
