Swiss midfielder Valon Behrami was sent off in the 31st minute for violent conduct, a very questionable call that  helped Chile to take sole lead of their group.
“Vidal fell down with a lot of drama, it was quite a performance,” Switzerland coach Ottmar Hitzfeld said after the ill-tempered match full of tough tackles, free kicks and colourful Chilean dives.
“It clearly wasn’t a red card it wasn’t even a yellow card. It was unfair of Vidal to roll around on the floor and simply ask for a red card.”
Behrami said he was disappointed by the referee’s decision who he said mistook a brilliant acting performance for a foul.
“Soccer is a physical game but what happened there today was nothing of the sort. I was simply defending, and lost against great acting,” he said.
