All has not gone to plan for Copa América hosts Chile, who only managed a 3-3 draw with Mexico in their last match, leaving them top of their group by tiebreakers alone after two. However, that's not the worst of it -- top scorer and midfield talisman Arturo Vidal was arrested after crashing his car while driving under the influence of alcohol on Tuesday. Coach Jorge Sampaoli has confirmed that he'll keep his place in the squad, but the subsequent furor threatens to distract them from the task in hand.

Bolivia will look to capitalize when they take on Chile in Santiago on Friday. Traditionally one of the weakest teams in South America, they've made an excellent start to this tournament, picking up four points from their first two games. A draw would likely be enough for them to progress, while a win would see them reach the knockouts as group winners -- that would be the first time they'd achieved that feat since 1997, when they went on to lose to Ronaldo's Brazil in the final.
