Following their 5-1 loss to Netherlands last week, La Roja needed at least a point to keep alive their hopes of advancing to the knockout stages of the competition.

However, Chile outperformed their opponents on the night, and goals from Eduardo Vargas and Charles Aranguiz were enough to secure them all three points.

The result means Spain are the first World Cup holders -- having won in 2010 -- to be eliminated in the following edition after just their second game.

"We deserved to go out. But the team showed character today, kept going and were a bit unlucky with the goals," Del Bosque told a news conference.
