Recap of Copa América 2024: Mexico’s experiment falls short as Venezuela and Ecuador advance from Group B

Venezuela has won Group B at Copa América for the second time ever, and for the first time in history, they have won all three of their group stage matches. This is a significant achievement as it marks their first win in 14 years. Salomón Rondón, Venezuela’s all-time leading scorer, scored his 43rd international goal to lead the way.

On the other hand, Ecuador has been eliminated from Copa América after a scoreless draw with Mexico at State Farm Stadium on Sunday. Despite failing to advance, Ecuador has reached the quarterfinals at three of the last four editions of Copa América. Meanwhile, Mexico has failed to advance three times when needing a win in the final group game. This is a disappointing result as it marks Mexico’s first elimination in the group stage after opening with a win.

Jamaica still has not earned a point at Copa América and remains winless in nine games, with Venezuela leading their all-time matchup. It is worth noting that this is not only an impressive feat but also sets an example for others to follow. The quality of play on display was truly remarkable, and it will be interesting to see what happens next in this tournament.
