Venezuela defeated Mexico 3-0 in the final match of Group B at State Farm Stadium on Sunday, securing their second consecutive victory in the tournament. This was also their first time winning all three of their group stage matches in the Copa America. The victory marked a significant improvement for Venezuela, who had been struggling to keep up with Ecuador and Mexico throughout the tournament.
Meanwhile, Ecuador drew Mexico 0-0, which means they will advance to the quarterfinals as the runner-up in Group B. This is a significant achievement for Ecuador, as they had been eliminated in the group stage six straight times before this. Mexico, on the other hand, has struggled to advance in past tournaments, needing a win to do so but being eliminated each time. This year was no exception, as they opened with a win but were still eliminated from the tournament after a scoreless draw against Ecuador.
Despite its struggles on the field, Mexico has still managed to hold an all-time matchup advantage over Ecuador. However, this year’s result marks a significant milestone for both teams as they look forward to what’s next in Copa America action.
