Chile halts training session after Brazilian news helicopter flies over World Cup base

Chile had to temporarily suspend a training session when a Brazilian news helicopter flew over the team's base Thursday, two days before both countries play in the first round of the knockout stages.

The team's communications director, Hector Olave, said he asked the O Globo station not to broadcast any of the images, so Chile's tactics wouldn't be revealed. Olave also said the private TV station later apologized for the incident at Toca da Raposa II.

Olave said coach Jorge Sampaoli was the most worried "because he was working on tactics and he didn't want them to know how he plans to approach the match" against Brazil.

Defender Mauricio Isla says "we tried to hit it (the helicopter) with the ball, but we couldn't."
