 Alexis Sanchez scored one and made another as Chile started their World Cup campaign with a win over Australia.

Barcelona forward Sanchez finished from close range in the 12th minute and then set up Jorge Valdivia to drive in from outside the area two minutes later.

Former Everton midfielder Tim Cahill pulled one back with a header from Ivan Franjic's cross before half-time.  After an anxious second half, Wigan's Jean Beausejour's long-range effort added Chile's third in added time.

Tipped by many as having a strong chance of progressing from Group B, Chile will have been buoyed by the Netherlands' 5-1 win over Spain, who they face on Wednesday. - BBC
