Chile defeats Trinidad 2-0 in friendly

Pedro Morales and Sebastian Toro scored to give Chile a 2-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago in an international friendly Wednesday.

Chile coach Marcelo Bielsa fielded a team made up only of domestic players, with its Europe-based stars all missing. The match was played in Iquique, located 1,150 miles north of the Chilean capital of Santiago.

Chile's next friendly match is May 16 against Mexico, with an unusual doubleheader set for May 30, when Chile faces Israel and Northern Ireland. Argentina-born Bielsa will divide his team into two squads and is using the doubleheader to see as many players as possible.

Chile will play in Group H with European champion Spain, Honduras and Switzerland.
