Chilean forward vows to get World Cup berth

SANTIAGO, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) -- Chilean forward Arturo Vidal said Thursday that the team was upset after losing 4-2 to Brazil on Wednesday in the 2010 World Cup South American qualifying tour.

"We are a bit sad because we thought we will get the ticket in these two dates," Vidal, player of Bayer Leverkusen, said.

Vidal was the only one giving comments to the local press.

Brazil scored the first two goals but Chile managed to equalize the score when a Brazilian player was red carded. However Brazil showed all its power again and young talented striker Nilmar scored twice to seal the victory. Nilmar also played a hat-trick in the game.

Brazil is leading the general board with 33 points, followed by Paraguay with 30 points. They have already got tickets for the World Cup South Africa 2010. Chile is standing third with 27 points.
