Chile beats Mexico 2-0 in a friendly match played Tuesday, scoring twice after halftime. Maximiliano Gutiérrez opens the scoring in the 54th minute, and Vicente Pizarro doubles the lead in the 65th as Chile controls the remainder of the match.
The result adds to Mexico’s recent difficulties. Multiple reports describe Mexico as continuing to struggle under head coach Rafael Márquez, whose team has suffered setbacks in recent friendlies. Chile also enters the match on the back of its own earlier results in North America, after losing previous friendlies to Canada (1-0) and the United States (4-2).
