Claudio Bravo saved three penalties as Chile booked their place in the Confederations Cup final with a 3-0 win over Portugal on penalties after a 0-0 draw.
The first half was goalless, but that came as a result of poor finishing rather than solid defending. Three yellow cards only hinted at the physical approach from both sides.
Eduardo Vargas blew a one-on-one chance against Rui Patricio, and Andre Silva fired at Claudio Bravo at the back post.
In the second half, Chile went closest as Arturo Vidal thundered a header over, and Vargas's clever overhead kick was beaten away by Patricio.
Chile should have had a penalty, but no VAR was used for Jose Fonte's challenge, and Vidal and Martin Rodriguez hit the bar in the same attack.
In a dramatic penalty shootout, Luis Nani missed a terrible, final penalty after Claudio Bravo saved from Ricardo Quaresma and Joao Moutinho, sealing an excellent performance.
