Mexico, Bolivia booed after draw
Print Edition
MEXICO and Bolivia were booed off the pitch after playing out a drab goalless draw in their opening match of the Copa America on Friday, leaving host Chile top of Group A after the first round of matches.
Bolivia hit the post through Ricardo Pedriel with its first real attack, and Mexico striker Raul Jimenez should have scored after the break with a close-range header, but otherwise neither side created much in the way of clear chances.
The Mexicans also had a penalty appeal turned down late on after Javier Aquino went down under pressure from Alejandro Pinedo.
While on balance a draw looked to be a fair result, it was greeted by whistles and boos at the Sausalito stadium in Vina del Mar at the final whistle.
Mexico has never defeated Bolivia at the Copa America in three attempts.
The Mexicans now face Chile in Santiago tomorrow while Bolivia meets Ecuador in Valparaiso on the same day.
Chile beat Ecuador 2-0 in the tournament opener on Thursday.
“We know that Chile are coming off the back of a victory that will give them a bit of confidence, and they have some quality players, but so do we, and we’re going to work hard to beat them,” Mexico striker Jesus Corona said.
