Easter Island plays its first official football match!!!

Easter Island, the tiny South Pacific territory administered by Chile, has staged its first ever officially sanctioned football match.

The islanders played their first competitive fixture in the Chilean Cup. 

The game ended in a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Colo Colo, the 28-time national champions dubbed the Manchester United of Chilean football. 

Fifa - the sport's governing body - had described the clash as the island's "match of the century". More...
