Santiago, June 13, 1962. World Cup semi-final: Brazil 4-2 Chile
The holders faced the hosts in the last four of the 1962 finals and a Brazil side inspired by the brilliant Garrincha triumphed to move a step closer to retaining the Jules Rimet trophy.
Garrincha scored twice in the first half for Brazil, and Vava added two more in the second period, with Jorge Toro and Leonel Sanchez netting, in vain, for Chile.
Garrincha was sent off towards the end but was allowed to play in the final, which saw Brazil beat Czechoslovakia 3-1. Chile, meanwhile, went on to finish third.
Rio de Janeiro, September 3, 1989. World Cup qualifier: Brazil 2-0 Chile
Brazil’s defeat to Uruguay in the deciding game of the 1950 World Cup is remembered as the ‘Maracanazo’. But in Chile the word describes the events of September 3, 1989.
That night at the famous venue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Chile clashed in a crucial qualifier for the 1990 World Cup.
The hosts were leading 1-0 midway through the second half when a firecracker thrown from the crowd appeared to hit Chile goalkeeper Roberto Rojas on the head. The bloodied Rojas left the field on a stretcher, but it was later discovered he had inflicted the wound himself using a razor blade hidden in his glove.
Brazil were awarded a 2-0 win and Chile were banned from qualifying for the 1994 World Cup, while Rojas was given a lifetime ban.

Cesar Sampaio and Ronaldo both scored twice for Brazil, who went on to lose the final to France, while Marcelo Salas got one back for Chile.
Johannesburg, June 28, 2010. World Cup round of 16: Brazil 3-0 Chile
Once again Brazil proved too strong in a World Cup showdown for their South American rivals, who had looked good in South Africa under Marcelo Bielsa.
Juan and Luis Fabiano scored in the first half before Robinho added another late on as the Selecao cruised into the last eight, where they lost 2-1 to the Netherlands.
Belo Horizonte, April 24, 2013: Brazil 2-2 Chile
The first of two entertaining friendlies between the sides last year was played at the Mineirao, the same venue where they will meet on Saturday.
Rever and Neymar scored for Luiz Felipe Scolari’s team either side of strikes by Mark Gonzalez and Eduardo Vargas for Chile.
However, the majority of players who featured in that match will not be involved on this occasion.
