Chile were agonisingly close to putting Brazil out of the World Cup earlier this week but unfortunately lost out to the favourites in a penalty shootout.

Chilean striker Pinilla took a shot on target in the 120th minute but hit the crossbar. His side went on to lose to the hosts and exited the world cup.

As a constant reminder of the moment and his narrow miss, Pinilla had the near goal tattooed on his back with the words “One centimetre from glory”.
