Chile confirmed themselves as Group A winners in emphatic fashion, thrashing fellow qualifiers Bolivia 5-0 in Santiago.
Charles Aránguiz grabbed a goal in each half, including breaking the deadlock in the third minute to set the tone for a dominant performance from the Copa América hosts.
Alexis Sanchez, fit to start before being taken off at half time, and Gary Medel also scored as Chile made it seven successive wins over La Verde in competitive matches.
An own goal from captain Ronald Raldes, who turned Ángelo Henríquez’s into the net in the closing minutes, completed a miserable night for Bolivia.
Yet, despite the heavy defeat, they still had cause to celebrate. They had been certain of going through to the last eight prior to kick-off, courtesy of Ecuador’s 2-1 win over Mexico earlier on Friday.
