Plain and simple: Chile came out swinging, like it always does, and Spain was listless, the predominant symptom of its time in Brazil.

Eduardo Vargas opened the scoring for La Roja in the 20th minute, built through beautiful passing between Chilean players and great work at the outset by Alexis Sanchez on the ball. Just before halftime, Charles Aranguiz tucked away a rebound given up by Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas on a Sanchez free kick in the 43rd minute.

Spain threatened in the second half, but misses on clear chances by Diego Costa and Sergio Busquets, among others, showed the writing was on the wall.

What's Next

Spain joins Australia in elimination from Group B thanks to two losses. With wins today, both the Netherlands and Chile move on to the knockout round with six points each, and their seeding to be determined in the third round of matches, but the Netherlands is likely the top seed thanks to the massive goal differential in that 5-1 win over Spain.
