SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Eduardo Vargas scored four goals, Edson Puch added two, and defending champion Chile thoroughly dismantled Mexico from every angle in a 7-0 Copa America quarterfinal trouncing Saturday night.

Mexico's best unbeaten streak in history ended in embarrassing fashion at 22 matches, one day shy of a year since El Tri's last loss to Ecuador in the Copa group stage.

After Vargas found the net for the final time on this extraordinary display of shot-making, the star forward jumped in the air and pumped his right fist as his shaggy hair swayed in the Bay Area breeze.
