Hosts Chile cruised past Bolivia 5-0 at the Copa America to finish top of Group A and ensure they remain in the capital Santiago for their quarter-final.
Midfielder Charles Aranguiz scored twice and Arsenal striker Alexis Sanchez grabbed his first goal of the tournament in a one-sided encounter at the national stadium.
Full-back Gary Medel added a fourth, Ronald Raldes scored an own-goal and Sanchez hit the woodwork twice against a Bolivia side that offered little in the way of resistance.
Despite their defeat, Bolivia finished second in the group and also progress to the last eight.
Ecuador, who beat Mexico 2-1 in the day's other match, will have to wait for other results to see if they go through, while Mexico, who came to the Copa with an understrength side, are eliminated.
"I'm happy with the victory and for the number of goals we scored because we weren't scoring enough," Chile playmaker Jorge Valdivia said. "It's best for it to be this way, for us to be getting better with each match. We have to keep on improving."
Chile made the perfect start, Aranguiz putting them ahead from 18 yards after three minutes. After Sanchez had hit both posts, he finally found the back of the net after 37 minutes, meeting a Valdivia cross with a precise diving header into the bottom corner.
The Chileans continued their domination after the break, Aranguiz scoring his second from close-range in the 66th minute.
Medel capped a fine night for the hosts with the pick of the goals, chesting down a pass from Valdivia before chipping the oncoming goalkeeper. Raldes then deflected a cross into his own goal to complete a miserable night for the Bolivians.
Chile's victory comes at the end of a difficult week dominated by news of their midfielder Arturo Vidal, who was charged and banned for drink-driving after crashing his Ferrari.
Midfielder David Pizarro said: "These things are obviously awkward but today was all about football. He knows he did something wrong but he's turned over a new leaf."
Ecuador's victory was their first in the Copa finals for 11 years; West Ham's Enner Valencia set-up Miller Bolanos for their first goal before Valencia helped himself to his second goal in three games.
Mexico got a goal back when Hugo Ayala was fouled in the box by Gabriel Achilier and Atletico Madrid's Raul Jimenez converted the penalty but it was not enough to prevent Mexico becoming the first side to be eliminated from the competition.
Ecuador now have a nervous wait to see if they will qualify as one of the two best third placed teams - which looks unlikely as they have a goal difference of minus two.
