Claudio Bravo became the oldest player in Copa America history and made four saves to help Chile play Peru to a scoreless draw on Friday night in the tournament opener for both teams.
Chile’s best scoring chance came in the 16th minute when Alexis Sanchez was left wide open in front of the goal, but his redirection went over the crossbar.
The physical battle featured 37 fouls and four yellow cards.
