The five times World Cup winners dominated the round-of-16 game yesterday, with goals, from Juan, Luis Fabiano and Robinho to set up a quarter-final with the Netherlands.

"We have to get better in every sense each day," said coach Dunga.

"It was a beautiful match because Chile are a tough team to defend against.

"You have to score first in the World Cup because the match opens up. I was happy with the dedication of our players.

"Chile is a fast team, and we needed players like Ramires and Daniel Alves to match that."

With a date with Holland lined up as the next hurdle, Dunga can recall back to the France 1998 World Cup semi-final where Dunga's Brazil defeated the Netherlands on penalties.

"From every match in the World Cup comes experience. It's a different situation from 1998. Holland maintain the tradition of high quality players, similar to the South-American teams. They don't just stay back and play the long ball. They have a lot of technical quality similar to the South-Americans".
