Both club's enter today's group-stage match looking to continue their chase of the top stop in Group A. For Chile head coach Claudio Vivas, an aggressive approach will be taken in order to do so. The team is already behind, having fallen to France in their opening match by a score of 3-0 (h/t Bio Chile). "Our plan is to go out and win the game, with a vertical approach," Vivas said.
"But I don't want to compromise the identity of Chilean football. At it's core, Chilean football is all about great technique, a great style," he added.
"We're trying to do that on the pitch, be intense, be a modern team and try to have more possession of the ball than our opposition. From there, we'll try to be the ones that creates the most chances."
Obviously, those chances and that modern game didn't show itself in the opening match with France, but will Chile be able to rebound and create those chances against Portugal this afternoon? Tell us @SportsWN
