CHILE BEAT MEXICO 7-0
Eduardo
Vargas scored four goals as Chile hammered Mexico 7-0 to reach the semi-finals
of the Copa America Centenario in spectacular style, Sky Sports
reports
Edson
Puch book-ended the scoring at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara and Vargas took
his tally to six in the last two games, while Alexis Sanchez scored Chile’s
third goal and had a hand in several more.
The
rout means Chile, who also scored four in their final group game against
Panama, will go into Wednesday’s last-four clash with Colombia in Chicago in
ever more confident mood, while Mexico return home to lick their wounds.
Nestor
Araujo’s tackle denied Puch, playing in place of the suspended Mauricio Isla,
an opener in the first few minutes.
But he made
the breakthrough in the 16th minute when Sanchez’s flick and Charles Aranguiz’s
pull-back combined to create the chance, Guillermo Ochoa parried Marcelo Diaz’s
shot and Puch sidefooted home his first international goal.
