Chile and Panama face off Tuesday in Copa America match

GROUP D: CHILE vs. PANAMA
Where: Philadelphia. Time: 5 p.m. PDT. TV: FS1, UniMas, UDN.
The buzz: Although both teams go into the group-play final with three points, Panama’s -4 goal differential means Chile goes through to the quarterfinals with a win or a draw while Panama goes home with anything short of a victory. Panama can blame Lionel Messi for its predicament since it was Messi who scored three times in the final half-hour of Argentina’s 5-0 win over Panama, turning a close game into a rout. Chile, meanwhile, is coming off a squeaker (2-1) against Bolivia that was decided on Arturo Vidal’s penalty-kick goal in stoppage time.
