Durban - Five time world champions Brazil have eased into the quarterfinals after sweeping pass Chile in a Round of sixteen match at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
The Johannesburg crowd was treated to some exciting football with slick passing from the Chileans and goal fest from Brazil.
Chile, who during the group stages were impressive, was let down by some substandard defending at Ellis Park.
Brazil opened the scored courtesy of a Juan header from Maicon's corner in the 35th minute.
With little time for Chile to recover, Luis Fabiano found the net yet again and Robinho then made it 3-nil in the 59th minute with a right foot shot past goalkeeper Bravo.
Chile's attacking strategy that cemented a second place in the South American qualifying round was visible on Monday night.
It allowed them to create some chances but they were kept at bay with some solid defending from the Samba Boys.
There is no doubt that Chile would have wanted to avoid meeting Brazil at this stage, given their recent record.
Brazil have recorded their eight straight win over Chile, scoring 29 goals in these meetings.
Chile's cause was definitely not helped by the absence of Waldo Ponce, Gary Medel and Marco Estrada through suspension.
Following Sunday's two big matches that were riddled with refereeing errors, English official Howard Webb did well to hold his nerve.
Webb did not bow down to pressure when he turned down Lucio's appeal for a penalty after the captain went down under a challenge from Contreras. And Maicon was fortunate to escape being booked after throwing himself to the ground.
Chile becomes the first of five South American sides to exit the competition.
Meanwhile, the Netherlands have booked their place in the quarterfinals after securing a 2-1 victory over Slovakia at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
The Dutch will now take on Brazil in Port Elizabeth for their quarterfinal duel.
Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder were responsible for the Netherland's two goals that ensured victory.
Robben made his first appearance for the Netherlands in the tournament after recovering from a hamstring injury.
Slovakia was awarded a penalty in the dying minutes of the game and Robert Vittek made sure they got their consolation goal.
