| Mexico v Venezuela: Copa América – as it happened | |

| Mexico 1-1 Venezuela | |
| Well, there you have it folks. Who would have thought one of the best, if not the best game of the tournament would be from two teams who technically had nothing to play for. Tecatito Corona is an absolute talent and Porto better hold on to him for as long as they can because he just turned in a performance the highest quality. But taking nothing away from Venezuela as I am done with the “good for them” rhetoric. They can play and they will be a major threat to Argentina. In front of a hostile environment, they delivered and really have done their nation proud. | |
| Mexico remain unbeaten in 22 matches but hand Osorio his first result that doesn’t end up in a win. Venezuela have now conceded a goal but it’s quite clear that they don’t make it easy. | |
| A great game in a tournament that just keeps getting better. Thanks for tuning in. I’ll be back later this week for the quarter-finals. | |
| Have a great evening. | |

| 84 min: Oh my....is this happening??? Martinez with an audacious bicycle kick and Corona tips it over the goal. That would have been the goal of the tournament | |

| 83 min: Otero comes on for Guerra as Venezuela make the last substitution. Tecatito has become possessed. | |

| Goal! Mexico 1-1 Venezuela (Corona 80) | |
| 80 min: Corona just transformed into Messi and scored one of my favorite goals of the tournament. Incredible. Takes on the entire defensive unit in the box, dribbling in and out and smashes it. What a goal. Game on. | |
| 2.45am BST | |
| 02:45 | |
| 79 min: Oh my God. What a run by Tecatito Corona! Takes it all the way to the box, magically dribbling around players and curls it around the keeper but its wide. Amazing. | |

| 73 min: Mexico keep pushing and Peñaranda once again with a foul in a dangerous area as Lozano gets trampled just outside the box. Free-kick to Mexico. The cross comes and oh....my....GOD. The most amazing save by Hernandez as he clears a shot from a foot away. Incredible. A corner and Hernandez catches the ball but gets fouled in the process, meanwhile Chicharito wants a penalty. Not sure why. | 73 min: Mexico keep pushing and Peñaranda once again with a foul in a dangerous area as Lozano gets trampled just outside the box. Free-kick to Mexico.

| Our very own Chris Taylor with a very important topic. Unfortunately, this is too much of a reality. The attempt to educate can be a long journey. I’ve been getting a few emails and tweets on this subject and I think it’s an important issue to discuss. Feel free to email me after the game with your thoughts. I may not be able to post them here on the live-blog but it will be a discussion worth noting in the future. This is a complex subject that needs more attention, especially taking in mind most of the victims were Hispanic. For now, we’ll stick to the game. | Our very own Chris Taylor with a very important topic. Unfortunately, this is too much of a reality. The attempt to educate can be a long journey.
