Football: Vidal heads Chileans past Mexico
Chile 2 Mexico 1
SAN JUAN:
Chile provided a little of the passion the Copa America had been missing as they fought their way past Mexico 2-1 to go two points clear in Group C, Arturo Vidal bagging the winner with a fine header. With Peru having held fancied Uruguay to a 1-1 draw earlier, the fourth stalemate in the first five games of the competition, the way was clear for the Chileans to strut their stuff against a raw Mexican side after “El Tri” elected to rest any of their senior squad having just lifted the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
