Osorio, Mexico players apologize to Mexican fans after defeat

After an embarrassing loss to Chile, Mexico's manager and several players apologized to the Mexican fans, saying their performance was far from good enough.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Mexico manager Juan Carlos Osorio and his players apologized to Mexican fans after a humiliating 7-0 Copa America Centenario defeat to Chile.

After going into the halftime break down 2-0, Mexico was helpless to stop Eduardo Vargas and Edson Puch adding to their goal totals. Alexis Sanchez also scored in the second half, as Chile cruised into a semifinal against Colombia.

"I'd like to give my most sincere apologies to the Mexican fans, to all the Mexican people," Osorio said in the news conference after the match.
