Highlights (or lowlights, if you're an England fan) below:
After a lackluster display against Bolivia in their first match of the Copa Amerca, Mexico’s “B” team had little to be optimistic about coming into a tough match against host Chile. The Chileans, one of the favorites of the tournament, were also the favorites of the match between the two. La Roja had just come off a 2-0 win in their first match against Ecuador and are the host of the tournament.

Mexico’s pre-Copa America preparations are done and over with. The real deal has started for El Tri, but their performance against their first opponent, Bolivia, has fans wondering whether they are up for the challenge.
