No change at the top of the table after match day three at the IBSA Blind Football American Championships in Santiago de Chile.

Brazil holds on to its leading position after beating Chile 5-1 thanks to a double from Ricardinho – including his 100th goal for the Brazilian team – and strikes from Raimundo Mendes, Severino Silva and Cássio Rais. Victor Silva, leading goal-scorer in the tournament so far, pulled one back for the hosts.

Yesterday's opening game was a close-fought affair between Colombia and Mexico. With both teams hoping to take the points and secure a healthy spot in the league table, in the end it was Colombia who came out on top (2-0). Juan Pérez and Jhon González found the back of the net for the Colombians.

Brazil sits top of the table on nine points, followed by Argenina and Colombia on seven. Thanks to its superior goal difference (+11 to +3) Argentina is second.

Chile is fourth on three point, Mexico fifth and Peru sixth.
