Favoured Chile thoroughly dominated Honduras 1-0 on Wednesday, notching its first World Cup victory in 48 years.
The South Americans, making their first World Cup appearance since France 1998, had not won a World Cup match since defeating Yugoslavia to finish third as hosts of the 1962 tournament.
Constantly attacking, La Roja could easily have won by a much higher score but squandered many golden opportunities in the teams’ Group H opener.
Forward Jean Beausejour scored the lone goal in the 34th minute when he took a crossing pass by midfielder Jorge Valdiva in front of the goal and hammered it in.
Beausejour was named Man of the Match.
Chile 1(Jean Beausejour) - Honduras 0
