Bravo saves all 3 penalties to take Chile final

Chile goalkeeper Claudio Bravo was the hero as his team reached the Confederations Cup final by beating Portugal on tie-breaker.

Bravo denied efforts from Ricardo Quaresma, Joao Moutinho and Nani as Chile converted all their spot-kicks, reported British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

It was perhaps justice for Chile, who had a strong claim for a penalty denied deep in extra time and also hit the post twice in quick succession, said the BBC report.

They will play either Germany or Mexico in Sunday's final in St Petersburg.

Arturo Vidal, whose shot hit the post in closing stages of extra-time before Martin Rodriguez's follow up also hit the woodwork, was successful from the spot for Chile along with Charles Aranguiz and Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez, the BBC report added.
