Yesterday, the last two "Copa America Centenario" quarterfinal matches were played. The Argentine national team faced off against Venezuelan footballers, where the world vice-champions took the lead in the eighth minute with a great pass from Lionel Messi utilized by Gonzalo Higuain. The same "Napoli" sniper doubled the lead in the middle of the first half, but the opponents' hopes revived when Luis Sejias stepped up to take an 11-meter penalty. However, his Panenka style shot completely missed the mark. In the second half, Messi made the difference. Salomon Rondon scored a consolation goal, but on the next attack, Erik Lamela responded. It was thought that the next match between Chile and Mexico could become very fierce, but ultimately it turned out to be quite the opposite. Last year's Copa America champions, the Chileans, opened the scoring in the 16th minute when Edson Puch scored. At the end of the half, Eduardo Vargas scored once again. Thus, the score at halftime was 2-0, and Mexico still had all chances to come back. To the disappointment of their fans, the opponent's celebrations had not even begun. Alexis Sanchez immediately made the difference after the break. Shortly after, Vargas scored again, and after his fourth goal in the 74th minute, the score was 6-0. Finally, Puch sealed the humiliation of the Mexicans.
