In spite of this, the goals came: the first was courtesy of a Javier Hernández header in the 18th minute off a Jesus “Tecatito” Corona cross.

Mexico finally finished when Hirving Lozano made a long run and found Hector Herrera, who dropped it off to Peralta.
Pic: ReutersA goal by Salomon Rondon gave Venezuela an upset 1-0 win over Uruguay in Philadelphia on Thursday that put them on the verge of the Copa America Centenario quarter-finals with the record 15-times champions facing elimination. However, people have been looking up to the team since Mr. Dudamel was named coach, and after Venezuela’s last victory against Jamaica, fans are expecting a lot.
For those who prefer to watch it via live online streaming, they can catch the action through the Fox Soccer 2 Go and Univision Deportes.
Venezuela and Mexico, who each have six points in Group C, will meet next week to decide who will win the group, while Jamaica were also eliminated with Uruguay, the most successful Copa America nation. A Mexico win or defeat against Jamaica would make it the first time since 1997 seven tournaments that Uruguay would have failed to reach the second round.
The West Brom striker continued on his recent hot streak to become the first Venezuelan to score in three Copa Americas as he rolled home the 36th-minute victor when a long-range shot from Alejandro Guerra was tipped onto the crossbar.
“When you play against a Mexican team, it’s always important you take your chances”, Jamaica assistant coach Miguel Coley said. We talked about mistakes, not only the red card because after that we had chances and I think we play very good. “And all of them said “yes”, without any hesitation”. The Barcelona striker was injured in the Copa del Rey final. This miss from Edinson Cavani at the death will haunt him for the coming months, as it would have given the team a lifeline ahead of the third match of the group stage.
