Claudio Bravo was Chile's hero on Wednesday as they beat Portugal 3-0 in a penalty shoot-out in the Confederations Cup semifinals in Kazan, Russia.

The Manchester City goalkeeper saved all three penalties from Portugal's Ricardo Quaresma, Joao Moutinho and Nani, while Arturo Vidal, Charles Aranguiz and Alexis Sanchez nailed their spot-kicks for the South Americans.

"We are satisfied with the result and how we played, but we have still not won anything," warned the 34-year-old Bravo.

Chile progress to Sunday's final in St Petersburg to face either Mexico or Germany, who meet Thursday in Sochi in the other semifinal.

"I'm very proud of this team. Claudio pulled off some good saves to keep us in the game," said Chile coach Juan Antonio Pizzi.

"He had the ability to foresee where their players would put their kicks. Now it doesn't matter who we get, we just need to recover for the final."

The defeat in Kazan was a bitterly disappointing for Portugal's superstar forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

 The Real Madrid star, who is facing doubts about his future in Spain as he prepares to answer allegations of tax evasion in a Madrid court next month, had won man-of-the-match awards in all three group matches.
