At the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in California, Vinotinto triumphed 1-0 over El Tri on the second date of Group B and punched their ticket to the final phase of the continental tournament.
Venezuela struck once again and beat Mexico 1-0 for the second date of Group B of the Copa América 2024 at the SoFi Stadium, in Los Angeles, California, to not only consolidate first place but also qualify for the quarterfinals with an advance date thanks to the goal by Salomón Rondón and the penalty saved by Rafael Romo.
The Vinotinto of the miracles of Fernando Batista made history again Already with its great presence in the Qualifiers towards the 2026 World Cup, it now surprised again by defeating Mexico, to add not only its second consecutive victory but also to earn its ticket to the final phase with one day in advance.
The first half was extremely full of chances but everything changed with the arrival of the complement. The Bocha Batista team changed its image in the second stage thanks to the appearance of Cristian Cásseres to add more play in the middle of the field and this modification paid off almost immediately. After a series of chances at the feet of Soteldo and Rondón, the play arrived that completely changed the course of the match. Julián Quiñones knocked down Jon Aramburu in the area, to which Rafael Claus did not hesitate to sanction a maximum penalty that the former River forward changed for a goal to break the tables and overtake Vinotinto.
In desperation, the best of Mexico was seen, but in each appearance of El Tri, Rafael Romo was present, and with each new stretch he seemed to get bigger and bigger.. The Aztec team even had a unbeatable chance from the twelve steps, at the request of the VAR, but Orbelín Pineda’s intention coincided with that of the Venezuelan goalkeeper, who guessed the direction of his shot and sent the ball to the corner to drown out the shout of the goal. There was no time for more and the partial 1-0 became final in Los Angeles, a result that shakes group B and leaves the table set for a key duel for the last ticket to the final phase.
With this result, Venezuela not only consolidates itself in first place with six points but – with a date in advance – gets into the quarterfinalsan instance to which they will be able to access first place if they tie against the already eliminated Jamaica. As far as Mexico is concerned, everything will be played for everything when it faces Ecuador on the last day of competitionknowing that it only serves to win since the Ecuadorian team has a better goal difference.

The Vinotinto comes from achieving a success in his debut played at the Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, after beating Ecuador 2-1, the team took the lead thanks to Jeremy Sarmiento’s goal but could not sustain the victory with one less player due to the expulsion of Enner Valencia and suffered the comeback in the legs of Jhonder Cádiz and Eduard Bello -who scored in their debut in the Copa América-. In this way, the team led by the Argentine Fernando “Bocha” Batista extends its good form: it has not lost six of the last seven games (three wins, three draws and one defeat).
