Nelspruit – Chile captain Claudio Bravo says a torn flag rescued from the deadly earthquake that hit the country in February is a source of inspiration for the players.
The flag was brought from Chile and has been left ripped and dirty, and now flutters outside the team's training base at the Ingwenyama complex near Nelspruit.
Bravo said that "it's in our minds what happened with the catastrophe. I think the flag was brought for that reason".
The goalkeeper added that "it's a very important thing for us and we take it as a big motivation".
Despite winning its opening two games, Chile needs at least a point against Spain in the final Group H match on Friday to guarantee progression.
