News for Chile Vs Mexico Winners and Losers from International Friendly

Chile and Mexico played to a scoreless, albeit adventurous, draw at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, Saturday.

Both sides included household names, such as Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sanchez for La Roja and Andres Guardado and Giovani Dos Santos for El Tri, and yet neither group of players could find the back of the net over the 90 minutes.

Mexico, through Dos Santos and Javier Orozco, had the better chances to score, but the balance of play generally favoured Chile, who struggled mightily to play their attackers into meaningful position.

Following are some of the winners and losers from the match.

Hector Herrera is to Mexico what Arturo Vidal is to Chile.

Until his withdrawal in the 74th minute, the Porto midfielder had generally pulled the strings for Mexico in the centre of the park and managed to pick out Giovani Dos Santos with accurate passes more than once.

El Tri’s future in midfield will surely be guided by the 24-year-old going forward.
