Trapped miners in Chile watch the football

The miners trapped underground in Chile got to watch some footie while they continue their wait to be freed.

Rescue workers sent a tiny TV screen down the supply shoot so the men could watch Chile take on Ukraine live.

Chile lost 2-1, but it's hoped seeing what's going on in the outside world would help the miners feel positive.

Meanwhile, work continues to drill down two rescue tunnels to reach the men, who've been trapped 700 metres underground for more than a month.

The rescue mission is expected to take between two and four months

Help on coping

Experts from the American space agency NASA are at the San Jose mine in Chile - giving advice to the miners on how to cope for a long time in small spaces.

They've told the miners to share out the different jobs that need to be done everyday, and to control how often they speak to their families.

Rescue

Engineers started drilling a rescue hole on 31 August.

When the shaft is finished it will be about 60cm wide - just about wide enough for one person to be lifted out one at a time in a small capsule.

A really powerful drill made in Australia is being used and the work is expected to take up to four months to complete.

Until then, important supplies like medicine and clothes are being sent down a narrow pipe.

The miners have also been sent MP3 players so they can listen to music and a small TV screen so they can watch football matches.
