Alexis Sanchez missed a penalty and scored a goal as Chile were beaten 3-2 by Costa Rica in a friendly on Friday.

Costa Rica had not won in their previous nine international matches, but they stormed into a 3-0 lead against Chile.

Kendall Watson scored twice before Ronald Matarrita added a third, which was greeted by boos from the home supporters.

Chile pulled a goal back with 20 minutes remaining through Sebastian Vegas.

But it was Lionel Scaloni, in charge after Jorge Sampaoli's short stint ended with a disappointing World Cup, who came out on top to record his third win in five games and his fourth clean sheet.

Scaloni handed debuts to Tottenham defender Juan Foyth and Velez Sarsfield midfielder Gaston Gimenez.

Foyth impressed in defence, winning the man-of-the-match award, but also suffered a facial injury.
