A Chicharito header followed by a Oribe Peralta finish late was enough for the Mexican National Team to overcome Jamaica 1-0 before a festive crowd of 83,263 Thursday night at the Rose Bowl. With the win, Mexico advances to the quarterfinals of the Copa America Centenario.
Manager Juan Carlos Osorio made a slew of changes to the lineup that performed so impressively against Uruguay, but the results were less than desirable. El Tri struggled to recreate their fluidity in attack, while Jamaica had chance after change in the first half, enjoying plenty of golden opportunities but only a combination of horrid finishing and suberb goalkeeping from Gullermo Ochoa kept the Reggae Boyz off the scoresheet.
