Joe Taufete'e peeled off a maul and scored a try in the 48th minute and US captain AJ MacGinty added a conversion to lift the Eagles ahead 26-14.MacGinty added a penalty in the 58th but Chile answered with a try from Matias Dittus in the 65th minute and Videla's conversion lifted the visitors within 29-28.

The US men took a 7-0 lead in the 11th minute when Martin Iosefo chipped the ball forward and Ruben de Haas tapped it back to Iosefo for the try with MacGinty converting.
