2024 Copa America Venezuela vs Mexico LIVE updates, Wednesday, June 26 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Before tonight’s showdown, Venezuela had a dramatic opener against Ecuador, finding themselves down 1-0 despite Ecuador being reduced to ten men.
However, they showcased resilience and turned the game around in the second half.
Jhonder Cadiz and Eduard Bello were the heroes, each finding the net to secure a 2-1 victory.
Bello, a seasoned winger, scored just his third international goal, while Cadiz opened his account for the national team in his seventh appearance.
Mexico, on the other hand, managed a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Jamaica in their first match.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t the usual suspects like Julian Quinones or Santiago Gimenez who scored, but full-back Gerardo Arteaga, whose long-range effort was enough to claim all three points.
However, Mexico suffered a significant blow with the injury of star midfielder Edson Alvarez, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury and his return before the tournament ends is uncertain.
With both teams eager to secure their place in the quarter-finals, this match promises to be fiercely contested.
Venezuela will look to Bello and Cadiz once again to lead their attack, hoping to replicate their second-half heroics from the last game.
For Mexico, the absence of Alvarez is a challenge, but they will rely on their depth and the tactical acumen of head coach Jaime ‘Jimmy’ Lozano.
Santiago Gimenez is expected to play a crucial role, potentially stepping up to deliver a decisive performance.
This match is also significant for Mexico as they continue their preparations for the 2026 World Cup, which they will co-host.
With a record of the most appearances by any guest nation in Copa America, Mexico’s experience could prove invaluable.
