From http://www.BreakingNewsEnglish.com/world_cup_news_2010/honduras-chile.html
Jean Beausejour's 34th-minute strike was enough to
earn Chile their first World Cup victory in 48 years. The
Chileans looked a very slick side and could be the dark
horse of the tournament. Their one-touch play was
both skillful and fast-paced. They totally dominated
their Honduran opponents. Honduras goalkeeper Noel
Valladares was kept busy throughout the match and
his efforts kept the score to 1-0. On another day, this
could have been embarrassing for Honduras. One
player to keep an eye on is Chile number 7 Alexis
Sanchez. His trickery on the ball and ability to glide
past defenders was a joy to watch. It’s no wonder he’s
a target for Real Madrid. After this performance, Chile
must be confident of beating Switzerland and even
Spain in their next matches.
