BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil (AP) — Brazil advanced to the World Cup quarterfinals on Saturday with a 3-2 shootout win over Chile following a tense and thrilling battle that ended 1-1 after extra time.

Neymar, David Luiz and Marcelo scored in the shootout, and Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar saved two penalties before watching Gonzalo Jara’s final attempt hit the post.

“My teammates are giving me a lot of strength on the field so I give my best,” Cesar said. “We’re just three steps away and I hope to give another interview with Brazil partying.”

Neither team managed to score at the Mineirao Stadium after first-half goals from Luiz and Sanchez, but Brazil came close to an early exit when Mauricio Pinilla’s shot hit the crossbar in the final moments of extra time.

The Brazilians overcame their nerves in the shootout, with Neymar scoring the final penalty after Cesar stopped spot kicks from Pinilla and Sanchez.

COLOMBIA 2, URUGUAY 0

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — James Rodriguez scored one of the best goals of the tournament and then added a second as Colombia beat Uruguay to advance into the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time.

Rodriguez gave his team the lead with a stunning long-range volley as he turned in the 28th minute and netted the second from close range shortly after halftime as Colombia dominated a Uruguay side that sorely missed banned striker Luis Suarez.

Rodriguez now has a tournament-leading five goals in Brazil and further enhanced his status as perhaps the tournament’s biggest revelation.

Uruguay struggled in attack without Suarez and his replacement Diego Forlan was substituted in the 53rd after a disappointing performance in what was probably his final World Cup appearance.

Colombia will play Brazil in the quarterfinals on July 4 in Fortaleza.
