Chile midfielder Jean Beausejour has insisted that the team can play better following their 3-1 victory over Australia at the World Cup.

Beausejour scored his side's third goal in Cuiaba on Friday as they got their campaign off to a winning start.

"It was a very important three points, we know we have a very difficult group," Beausejour told FIFA.com.

"We can play much better. In the second half it was really, really hard after you've been playing in 30 degrees. They have a really good team. They play with wingers, they put every single ball into the box and they have a really good player in Tim Cahill."

Chile's next fixture is on Wednesday, when they face reigning champions Spain in Rio de Janeiro.
