Substitutions: Schöpp for Cerny (46 mn), Herzog for Kühbauer (46 mn) and Vastić for Haas (73 mn)
Notes: Schöttel marked Salas and Pfeffer was on Zamorano, however, their marking wasn't very strict
Herzog played as left AMF/CMF, relocating Pfeifenberg as right CMF and Mählich as central DMF/CMF
At the 53rd mn during a Chilean corner, Schöpp deliberately blocked the oncoming cross inside the area with his right palm, only Chile' Reyes witnessed the obvious offense but his complaint was mild at best and no action was taken, Austria was lucky to not suffer a penalty at that stage of the game
