In Group B
Copa opening victories for Mexico and Venezuela
The national soccer teams of Venezuela and Mexico both started Group B of the 48th Copa America with victories.
The Venezuelans defeated Ecuador 2-1 in Santa Clara (California) after trailing 1-0, benefiting from numerical superiority after Ecuador captain Enner Valencia was shown an early red card for foul play (22). The Mexicans celebrated a narrow 1-0 win against Jamaica in Houston (Texas).
Gerardo Arteaga's goal (69') gave the favorites three points. However, Mexico also suffered a painful loss: West Ham professional Edson Alvarez had to leave the pitch after half an hour with a thigh injury. His tournament could be over prematurely.
