Mexico in trouble after falling to Venezuela in Copa América

Mexico lost for the first time ever with their senior team against Venezuela by a 1-0 score in their second match in this year’s edition of Copa América. The match puts Mexico in a really tough situation as they now face a must-win match against Ecuador on Sunday for a chance to get to the quarterfinals of the competition. As Ecuador had defeated Jamaica earlier in the day by a 3-1 score, this means that although both teams are tied with three points, Ecuador have a better goal difference. This means that a tie on Sunday qualifies Ecuador and eliminates Mexico, who would be going out in the Group stage of a Copa América for the first time ever with their main National team.
