45' - HT Chile 0 England 1
England end the half strongly, with Jadon Sancho registering a shot on target, although it was saved by Borquez at full stretch. Chile have found it hard to cope with the runners-up of the UEFA U-17 European championships, and have poor finishing from the Englishmen and excellent goalkeeping from Borquez to thank for still keeping them in the game.

The game has slowed a bit. Maybe it's the humidity and also Chile have improved quite a bit. There were few encouraging runs from the Chile players but it should happen more freequently.
