Discussing a period of heavy Chile pressure in the opening 45 minutes, Low said: "I didn't have the impression our players were "lost" in the first half".
The Socceroos will clash with the African champions on Thursday (Friday morning AEST) in Saint Petersburg in their second Confederations Cup game.
Lars Stindl netted his second goal of the tournament to equalise for the world champions just before the break.
The result sees the pair both sit on four points with Chile leading the way from Germany in Group B with only goal difference separating the two sides.
Sanchez's goal was his 38th for Chile in 113 appearances as he overtook the previous scoring record held by Marcelo Salas.
The 36-year-old could well be between the posts again for the showdown with the 2012 World Cup winners should the Manchester City keeper not be deemed match fit.
"I'm very proud of the intensity we played with", said Chile coach Juan Antonio Pizzi.
Oil edges up but set for worst H1 performance in 20 years
Oil producers' average capital spending was previously projected to rise by 50 percent this year over depressed levels of 2016. But Nigeria has repaired a key export facility in the Niger Delta where insurgents have often disrupted operations.
"We only had a couple of days to work on a few things and in the first half we put a lot of that into practice and controlled the game", said the Borussia Moenchengladbach man. "They are very versatile in their game and will be a big challenge for us".
In the match's earlier game Australia came from behind to grab a share of the spoils against Cameroon.
Mustafi was perhaps fortunate to remain on the pitch in the aftermath of the goal as he went straight through the back of Vidal following the ball back to Sanchez, the referee ignoring it as he gave the goal.
Vargas, who has scored 34 goals for Chile, nearly added to the lead in the first half with a booming right-foot shot that struck the crossbar.
It was Can who prompted Germany's equaliser on 41 minutes, driving into space in the middle of the park before playing a sumptuous through ball to Jonas Hector, who squared for Lars Stindl.
Loew said that goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen will return to the starting lineup after Bernd Leno played against Australia. So too did Johnny Herrera as he got down to stop Stindl's low effort.
"It was a very tactical, intense game and it was very, very demanding in that sense", said Germany coach Joachim Loew, who has taken a young squad to the tournament.
"We can not allow so many mistakes against Chile and we need to be more efficient up front", said Bayern Munich's Kimmich, Germany's first-choice right-back at 22.
