Alexis Sanchez got both goals for the South American side, breaking the deadlock after just seven minutes with an opportunistic header into the bottom corner.

He then capped off the result in stoppage time of the second half, dinking the ball over debutant keeper Fraser Forster in style.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at a famous night for Chile.

Was the result fair?

Yes. The stats may show that England had more shots and more corners, but Chile were in control for the majority of the night and the possession statistic gives a much more accurate representation of how the game went. England started well and certainly had their moments in the first half, but once Chile had got through those unscathed they comfortably saw out the second half. England didn't create enough to warrant anything from the game, while Chile were, if anything, a bit wasteful in attack.

England's performance

Manager Roy Hodgson said that the performance was more important than the result, but neither will have filled him with joy tonight. Having said that, he named an experimental side and would have learned some valuable things about certain players, so it isn't all bad news for the hosts. In that respect, Chile were almost the perfect opposition, posing a serious threat to England and teaching them about the style of South American teams. This 2-0 defeat would be more valuable than a 5-0 rout of an international minnow, but the fact remains that their year-long unbeaten streak is now over, which is a setback no matter how you look at it. There are certainly positives to take for the Three Lions, but overall it was a disappointing night.

Chile's performance

Very impressive. Chile seem to have a nice balance between attractive, free-flowing football and the nitty gritty, ugly side of the game. They played some very good stuff in the first half and could have been more than one goal up at the break if it wasn't for some poor control from Jean Beausejour in particular. In many ways, their second half performance was just as impressive as they controlled the tempo of the game and never let England create the sort of momentum that would allow them to get back into the match. They closed the game out very well and look like being a force in next year's World Cup.

Sports Mole's man of the match

Alexis Sanchez: He was highlighted as Chile's dangerman before the match and he didn't disappoint. He was at the focal point of almost everything good from the visitors and capped his performance off with two well-taken goals. The first showed good movement as he stole in front of Leighton Baines to nod Chile ahead against the run of play, while the second was a delightful chipped finish, the type of which he would have seen Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi do on countless occasions.

Biggest gaffe

This dubious honour goes to Gary Cahill, who gave away a careless pass deep in second-half stoppage time to allow Chile to break forward and score their second goal. Time was running out for England and any equaliser was looking increasingly unlikely, but that mistake was expertly punished by Sanchez and killed the game off once and for all.

Referee performance

Florian Meyer had a decent game tonight. He gave out quite a lot of yellow cards considering it was a friendly, but every single one was deserved with the possible exception of Chris Smalling, whose booking was borderline.

What next?

England: England will look to pick themselves up in time for Tuesday's match against their old nemesis Germany.

Chile: Chile also go on to face one of the world's top teams as they take on Brazil in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
