Bolivia drew Argentina ,Venezuela drew Brazil and Peru drew Uruguay Heavy favorites being unable to take three points had become the theme in the early going of Copa America and it looked like Mexico would join the list of underdogs denying the favorites points. They have just an under-22 team at the tournament, but they scored in the first half to take a lead and for all of their issues in the attack, they have a strong defense. That defense couldn't hold up to the second half Chile onslaught thought as the Chileans came back to grab a 2-1 win over Mexico to jump to the top of Group C.With the win, Chile moves to the top fo Group C with three points, while Mexico are at bottom. Uruguay and Peru sit in the middle with a point apiece. Chile will play their next Copa America match against Uruguay on July 8 in Mendoza, while Mexico will take on Peru, also in Mendoza on July 8.
Mexico (4-2-3-1): Luis Ernesto Michel, Darvin Chavez, Hector Reynoso, Hiram Mier, Javier Aquino; Paul Aguilar, Diego Reyes; Nestor Araujo. Giovani dos Santos, Jorge Enriquez; Rafael Marquez Lugo.
Chile (4-3-2-1): Claudio Bravo, Mauricio Isla, Gary Medel, Waldo Ponce, Arturo Vidal, Gonzalo Jara, Pablo Contreras, Jean Beausejour, Humberto Suazo, Matias Fernandez; Alexis Sanchez.
