The fans damaged the media room as they desperately ran around in an apparent attempt to get into the game.
The red-shirted Chileans, mostly young men who apparently didn't have tickets to the match, sprinted through the huge FIFA media centre underneath the stands and ran toward a corridor they apparently thought would lead to the grandstands.
Once inside that corridor, they broke down a temporary wall, sending metal lockers crashing to the ground.
"I was the lone guy standing out there (near the entry to the press centre)," security guard Diego Goncalves said. "All of a sudden they knocked down the fence and just pushed their way through."
One guard grabbed a Chilean by the neck and dragged him away.
Security guards eventually surrounded the group, made them sit on the ground and led them away in a line with each Chilean holding onto the shoulders of another in front of him.
