Chile 3  Mexico 3The kind of match people like to imagine when speaking about the Copa America. Wild football, a lot of motivation to attack and most importantly, plenty of goals. Matias Vuoso opened the scoring for Mexico in the 21st minute and also closed it with a goal in the 66th minute. In between, Chile got a brace from Arturo Vidal (one to equalize, one to take a 3-2 lead) and another goal from Eduardo Vargas. Raul Jimenez also scored for Mexico.

Ecuador 2  Bolivia 3: Any time Bolivia win a match outside La Paz it’s a huge surprise. In a demonstration of bad defending from both teams, Bolivia took a stunning 3-0 lead at half time after goals from Ronald Raldes,  Martin Smedberg-Dalence and Marcelo Moreno. Ecuador bounced back with goals from Enner Valencia and Miller Bolaños, but their comeback effort fell short and started too late.
