CHILE BEATS CAMEROON DESPITE VIDEO CONTROVERSY
Arturo Vidal brushed off a hotly disputed video review to give Chile a 2-0 win over Cameroon in the Confederations Cup on Sunday in Moscow. Vidal’s 81st-minute header after a pass from substitute Alexis Sanchez gave the South American champion a Group B win which was anything but routine, before another goal was decided by video review. The Chileans had thought they had taken the lead in first-half stoppage time when Eduardo Vargas slotted the ball past Fabrice Ondoa after a pass from Vidal. Referee Damir Skomina awarded the goal and Chile’s players started an elaborate goal celebration, but the decision was then sent for video review, which found Vargas offside by a matter of inches. After Vidal put Chile ahead in the 80th, Vargas scored Chile’s second — but only after another review.
