England were shocked at Wembley as the 1966 World Cup champions went down 2-0 to Chile. Three players – Fraser Forster, Jay Rodriguez and Adam Lallana – were handed their international debuts by Roy Hodgson, but it was the Chileans who were dominant on the night. Alexis Sanchez scored in the 7th minute with a well-cushioned header and then added a second, with a delightful chip, at the death to hand the South Americans a famous win over The Three Lions. Meanwhile at the San Siro, Italy and Germany drew 1-1 as two firts half goals from defenders Mats Hummels and Ignazio Abate settled the game between the two footballing giants. Italy have been quite the bogey team for the Germans over the last two decades. Die Mannschaft haven’t beaten the Azzurri in an international game since 1995. In the absence of captain Lionel Messi, Argentina played out a dull goalless draw at home against Ecuador. The two dark horses for next year’s World Cup Belgium and Colombia faced off at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels. In a game attended by Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, the South Americans beat the Belgians 2-0 with the goals coming from Radamel Falcao and Victor Ibarbo.
