Chile Battle to Retain Copa
Two of the Copa's truly exciting teams are brought together in the last eight of the competition as El Tri attempt to dethrone Chile.
Mexico will once again bring a huge fan contingent to the match in Santa Clara, per football writer Robert Jonas:
The match between the two electric nations was the best of last year's tournament, ending 3-3 in the group stages.
Both sides expect a sumptuous attacking match as the pair play to their strengths in order to progress.
"They are very dynamic, back-and-forth games," said Mexico right-back Paul Aguilar, per Tom Marshall of ESPN FC. "We know their quality, they go forward in the same way we do and I think it'll be an open and beautiful game for everyone."
The compliment was returned by Chile's Jose Pedro Fuenzalida, according to Marshall.
"[Mexico] have a way of playing in which if you make a mistake, they make you feel it, but we know Mexico very well, we've had some very close games," said Universidad Catolica player Jose Pedro Fuenzalida. "It is going to be useful to see where we are at. We've got everything [we need] to keep advancing in the Copa."

Chile lack part of the dynamism they possessed last year, but they still have the talents of Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal in place, giving them a puncher's chance of beating an expressive Mexico side.
The 27-year-old Arsenal attacker had an inconsistent season in the Premier League last term as the Gunners stumbled but still managed to score 13 goals in 28 starts after niggling injury, according to WhoScored.com.
Vidal left Juventus to settle back into life in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich and featured in 41 games in the German league and UEFA Champions League, per WhoScored.com, under the guidance of Pep Guardiola.

The Chileans go into Saturday's clash brimming with confidence after an indifferent period of form in 2016 under new boss Juan Antonio Pizzi.
Chile slammed four goals passed Panama to book their knockout place and appear in great shape in the attacking positions.
However, Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio has set high standards for his squad with Javier Hernandez in the best form of his life.

Jon Arnold of Goal wrote about El Tri:
"Getting out of the group stage is nothing new. Mexico has reached the knockout round at the last six World Cups. The team has lost in the round of 16 each time. Getting to the fourth game is easy, but it’s the fifth game that Mexico has found elusive. It would not be a good omen for the Osorio era were he to fall into the same pattern.
[...]
Those voices will only grow louder if Mexico stumbles in the fourth game of a major tournament once again. Beat Chile, and this tournament will be considered a success. Drop the result, and even though it would be the first loss in the Osorio era, the Copa will be remembered as a failure.
"
Chile hold the advantage with last year's success fresh in their minds, but it is questionable whether they have the defensive steel to stop Chicharito.
The Mexican has blossomed after regular first-team football in Germany, and he is once again ready to make a splash on the international scene.
However, if Sanchez and Vidal take control of the match in California, there is a chance Mexico will once again collapse to their knockout jinx seen so many times previously.
