Gonçalo Guedes, who came on for Ronaldo at half-time, scored in the 58th minute and Bruno Fernandes added the second in the 75th. Lucas Cepeda pulled one back in stoppage time for Chile, who have not reached the World Cup.

The match was somewhat overshadowed by two red cards shortly before half-time for Portugal’s Rafael Leão and Chile’s Ivan Roman. The two had clashed in a scuffle.

Portugal play their final World Cup warm-up match on Wednesday against Nigeria and open their campaign against the Democratic Republic of the Congo on June 17 in Houston.
