" UNBELIEVABLE!!! VUOSO TIES IT AGAIN for @miseleccionmx. FANTASTIC GAME! FANTASTIC COPA 3-3. #beINCopaAmerica http://t.co/39YR28Ixf8 — beIN SPORTS USA (@beINSPORTSUSA) June 16, 2015 "
The Copa America 2015 continues to produce highly entertaining soccer. Monday night host Chile played Mexico to a 3-3 tie in Santiago. Mexicos Matias Vuoso capped the scoring midway through the second half, latching onto a ball over the top and beating Claudio Bravo. Somehow that goal — Vuoso’s second of the night — held up for the remainder of the match.
Chile should might have ended up with a bunch more but had two good chances wiped out by the offside flag, including the one below. Maybe Alexis’ Sanchez arm was offside here? Maybe?
"IS THIS OFFSIDE? @Alexis_Sanchez taps home but waved off AGAIN! Very dubious!!! #beINCopaAmerica http://t.co/7q8dl2hlnT — beIN SPORTS USA (@beINSPORTSUSA) June 16, 2015 "
Chile, the hosts, are tied atop Group A with Bolivia. Mexico is in third with two, whil Ecuador is last with zero. For Mexico it’s a patchwork “B” team, with El Tri prioritizing the CONCACAF Gold Cup next month making tonight’s result all the more impressive.
Arturo Vidal scored twice for Chile, including a first-half penalty.
