In the next round of the Copa América, Mexico will face Venezuela next Wednesday, at 10pm (Brasília time), at the SoFi Stadium, in Los Angeles (California). Jamaica, in turn, on the same day, at 7pm, faces Ecuador, at the Allegiant Stadium, in Paradise (Nevada).
The Jamaicans found the net for Gonzalez, the Mexican goalkeeper, in the 7th minute of the second half. However, after analysis, Michail Antonio’s goal was canceled by the referee. The attacker was in an offside position during the play.
Mexico opened the scoring in the 24th minute. After a cross from the right, Jamaica’s defense barely cleared the danger. Then, the ball fell to the feet of Luís Romo, who passed it to Gerardo Arteaga. The number 6, on the line of the penalty area, sent a left-footed rocket into Waite’s left corner.
