@LDOG just to clarify, the Chilean team wasn’t missing any key players due to injury? I don’t follow field hockey at all, so I want to know how credible the win is

No, I don't think so. It's the same roster from last few tournaments. 

 

It's not so surprising to me anyways. In my eyes, USA, Canada and Chile are all the same level currently. IMO Chile prevailed lately mostly because they hosted the last pan am cup and also pan am games.

The Uruguay women's team had last defeated Chile in 2016, and had last finished in the podium in 2003.
