Mexico debuted against the side with the most Copa America titles in the history of the tournament.
Mexico defeated Uruguay 3-1 on Sunday night at University of Phoenix stadium in their first game of the Copa America Centenario.
As superior as El Tri looked against Uruguay early on, the own goal seemingly gave way to complacency on the pitch. Some players lacked influence while others were relied on too heavily. Uruguay's Matías Vecino's ejection from the game should've opened the game for Mexico to dominate, but Juan Carlos Osorio's men couldn't take advantage.
It wasn't until Uruguay had tied the game and Andrés Guardado had been sent off that Osorio's substitutions began to pay dividends.
