In the third round of Group B matches at the Copa América, Mexico’s 0-0 draw with Ecuador dashed their hopes of advancing, leaving fans deeply disappointed.
According to foreign media outlet tvazteca, due to the scoreless draw against Ecuador, Mexico finished with only four points. Venezuela secured nine points to top the group, while Ecuador, also on four points, advanced thanks to a better goal difference. This outcome was a stark contrast to pre-tournament expectations.
Heading into the Copa América, Mexico was considered a strong contender for the title, and given the relative weakness of the other teams in their group, they were tipped to advance to the quarterfinals as group runners-up. The media source mentions that as many as 20,000 Mexican fans had already purchased tickets for the quarterfinal match, confident in their team’s progression.
If they had advanced, they would have faced Group A leaders Argentina in a highly anticipated clash. However, that showdown will not take place, and now these fans are looking to sell or transfer their tickets, adding to their disappointment.
