Matías Catalán was the starter in Chile’s win

Talleres’ defender, Matías Catalán, started for the first time in Berizzo’s team and completed the 90 minutes. The formation that Berizzo from Cordoba put on the court was: Gabriel Arias; Erick Pulgar, Matías Catalán, Gary Medel and Gabriel Suazo; Arturo Vidal and Diego Valdes; Marcelino Núñez, Juan Delgado and Ben Brereton Díaz; Barticiotto.

Then Alexis Sánchez (former River Plate), Guillermo Soto (Huracán), Víctor Méndez, Williams Alarcón Cepeda and Víctor Dávila entered, according to ‘Flashscore’.

The Chilean team crushed its Dominican Republic counterpart 5-0, in a friendly played in the city of Viña del Mar, within the framework of the FIFA date. In the Sausalito stadium, the team led by Argentine coach Eduardo Berizzo easily prevailed.

Ben Brereton scored a hat-trick at 11, 17 and 25 minutes into the first half, while Bruno Barticiotto scored the win, with both conquests at 44m. of the first period (through a penalty kick) and at 13m. of the second, respectively.

Chile, which came from beating Cuba 3-0 last weekend in another trial, will close the series of friendlies this Tuesday against local Bolivia in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, in the last preparation match, prior to the start of the South American qualifiers.
