Venezuela y Mexico They face each other for the second date of group B of the America Cup. They play at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles with refereeing by Brazilian Raphael Claus. Venezuela wins 1-0.
Quickly, before the first minute of play, Mexico dangerously approached Venezuela’s goal. After the middle kick-off, Uriel Antuna grabbed the air ball inside the area and played the cross pass to Santiago Gimenez, that by centimeters failed to connect. It was very clear.
And at 18′ came an opportunity of even greater danger for those led by Jaime Lozano: a pass from behind the middle of the field by Luis Chávez left Giménez hand in hand with the goalkeeper Rafael Romo, the figure in Venezuela’s victory against Peru, which in this case stood out with a new save.
The team was not having a good time. Again Batista, beyond a mid-range shot from Yeferson Soteldo that went over the crossbar, until he appeared Solomon Rondon with all his hierarchy after receiving a long pass and entering the area. It seemed like an inconsequential play, but the striker managed to separate himself from his marker and take a good left foot shot that he hit against Julio González’s left post.
And that’s how he escaped the first half.
Venezuela started the second half better
The Venezuelan uprising spread at the beginning of the complement. A powerful shot by Soteldo that was blocked by the Mexican goalkeeper, first, and a shot by Rondón that went just wide, later, marking that Mexico’s dominance was already behind us.
And finally, the former River scorer opened the account 12 minutes into the second half. Julián Quiñones knocked down Jon Aramburu inside the area and Rondón did not fail from the twelve steps. In this way, Batista’s team ensures its classification to the quarterfinals, while Mexico would play for a place in the next stage head-to-head against Ecuador.
