00:00:00We're back in Austin, Mauricio Du and Mishumar Tapia in Jamaica versus Venezuela.
00:00:09Group B match day 3, group stage.
00:00:12Venezuela wants to get the 3 points to finish undefeated and make history.
00:00:19So is Jamaica and their head coach.
00:00:23They want to make history by gaining 3 points.
00:00:263 points, one victory for the first time in this international tournament.
00:00:36There is Demarai Gray.
00:00:38Both national teams have made a substantial amount of substitution for this game.
00:00:45Many of them because they have yellow cards.
00:00:47The other one is a tactical decision by the coaching staff.
00:00:51We are ready to kick off at the Q2 stadium in Austin, Texas.
00:00:5795 degrees right now with 52% humidity.
00:01:01It feels like 1 or 2.
00:01:06And here we go. Ready to roll.
00:01:09Casey Palmer right next to the ball.
00:01:12Solos Micael Antonio, ladies and gentlemen.
00:01:15We kick off. 90 minutes of the world's most beautiful sport.
00:01:21Jamaica controlling the ball.
00:01:23Daniel Lowe is calling for the ball.
00:01:29Thibaudier giving the first throw in for Venezuela.
00:01:34Mauricio Du, today Venezuela is coached by Leandro Cufre who we've seen on screen.
00:01:40He's the assistant coach.
00:01:43What happened? Go ahead, let the people know.
00:01:47Well, the coach got suspended because he was late bringing the team out in the last game.
00:01:56So is Bielsa. So were other coaches in this Copa America.
00:02:04You think it's fair?
00:02:05I mean, I like the gesture by Coleman.
00:02:08Well, they're taking a stamp and trying to encourage teams to get the game going.
00:02:12So I like the consistency. It wasn't just a one-off occasion.
00:02:15As you mentioned, I think there's been about four managers now who have been suspended for that same judgment.
00:02:22So Leandro Cufre, he'll be patrolling the sideline for this Venezuelan side as they look to make history.
00:02:27Leandro Cufre with a lot of experience.
00:02:30World Cup in 2006. Extensive career in Argentina, Italy, France, Germany.
00:02:35Was assistant coach in Cruz Azul and Santos. Both teams in Liga MX.
00:02:44Here's Jamaica.
00:02:47Thibaudier, Greg Lee was calling for the ball.
00:02:50Long ball one more time from this end of the field by Ethan Peanut.
00:02:57Another throw in for Venezuela.
00:03:02We see a lot of fans, a lot of vino tinto shirts in the stadium.
00:03:06Houston is about a two, two and a half hour drive to Austin.
00:03:17Rondon.
00:03:19Peanut coming for the ball.
00:03:22And Houston is the second largest community of Venezuelan in the United States.
00:03:32On the other side is Aramburu.
00:03:39Alexander Gonzalez now has the ball.
00:03:42Bello couldn't get to it.
00:03:44Gonzalez, here's number 21.
00:03:48Casey Palmer getting it back for Jamaica.
00:03:50Now it's the captain, Damian Lowe.
00:03:53Back to Ethan Peanut.
00:03:57Casey Palmer.
00:04:00Venezuela clinches the group with a win or a draw.
00:04:04Or a loss from the Ecuador-Mexico draw.
00:04:12We will be updating you on the result of the other game in group B, Mexico against Ecuador.
00:04:29Casey Palmer.
00:04:33Mo, does it make a difference when you don't have your head coach on the sideline and the assistant is taking his place?
00:04:40You hope that it doesn't, but from a player's standpoint, it can. It can have a role.
00:04:46Sometimes, you know, if you have a really animated manager and you miss that personality on the sideline.
00:04:50But ultimately, I like to believe that, you know, whenever my manager wasn't there, my focus was still what was happening between the white lines.
00:04:57And that's where my mindset was, that's where my attention, all my energy was focused and placed.
00:05:02But we'll see how it plays out today.
00:05:03A big opportunity lies in front of Venezuela, regardless of who's on the sideline.
00:05:07For these 11 players on the pitch and those that come off the bench, they have a chance to make history by winning every group game.
00:05:13Bello inside the box, bringing it back to Salomon Rondon.
00:05:17Now bouncing that ball from Ethan Peanut left.
00:05:22And kicking it out, there is Jordan Osorio.
00:05:34A long pass.
00:05:37Jamali Wade.
00:05:48Now on this side is Demaree Gray.
00:05:51Trying to get to the ball, his number 21, Alexander Gonzalez, going to be a corner kick.
00:05:55The first corner kick for Jamaica.
00:05:59Demaree Gray coming into the starting lineup today.
00:06:01He can be a good outlet for this Jamaican side.
00:06:04Especially in transition, at times when you want to relieve pressure, you need that outlet ball, whether it's in wide space.
00:06:11But he's a player who's very tricky 1v1 and can deliver a decent ball from a set piece as well.
00:06:16Mikael Antonio inside the 6.
00:06:21The ball coming right to the hands of the goalkeeper, Rafael Romo.
00:06:30Way in the back, Wes Harden.
00:06:34Playing in his third game for Jamaica today, number 12.
00:06:43Mikael Hector.
00:06:53Ethan Peanut.
00:06:55Michael Hector.
00:06:59Lativo Dier.
00:07:01Back again to number 15.
00:07:04Back to Wade.
00:07:06And here's Sokoli.
00:07:09Putting the pressure, Venezuela not allowing Jamaica to come out.
00:07:13Look where Mikael Antonio is.
00:07:17Yeah, I was just getting ready to point that out.
00:07:18How deep Mikael Antonio is dropping to try to get on the ball.
00:07:21Part of it is to try to get on the ball, but the other part is to try to draw defenders out of their position.
00:07:27And look at him going at this.
00:07:28Yes, great.
00:07:29He wants to get inside the box.
00:07:30Gonzalez is in front of him.
00:07:31There is the shot.
00:07:33And it's going to be the second corner kick for Jamaica.
00:07:36It's actually well done by Jamaica.
00:07:38Doing a good job of drawing some space centrally in midfield.
00:07:41Now they can play that entry ball.
00:07:43Get on the half turn.
00:07:44And now you can get the ball back out wide.
00:07:45This is what you want to see.
00:07:46Damari Gray, 1v1 against his defender.
00:07:48He actually dribbles into pressure trying to get it on his favorite right foot.
00:07:51Venezuela do enough to throw off his strike and ultimately it's a wayward chance.
00:07:57But a decent spell.
00:07:58A buildup and patience from this Jamaican side.
00:08:03Here's the long ball.
00:08:06Now getting to it is Segovia.
00:08:09Now Eduardo Bello.
00:08:11With the ball coming inside the box.
00:08:12Flexion on the side.
00:08:14And it's going to be a throw in.
00:08:16I like the way this game started, Mo.
00:08:19Decent pace so far to this game.
00:08:24Both teams still have something to play for.
00:08:26I know we've seen quite a few changes to the starting lineups from either side.
00:08:30Venezuela.
00:08:31Part of that is in anticipation of the next round.
00:08:34They've already advanced to the next round.
00:08:36They're going to have to play a little bit more defensively.
00:08:38Part of that is in anticipation of the next round.
00:08:41They've already advanced to the next round.
00:08:43So resting some players who are on yellow cards.
00:08:45You see the group standing as it stands at the moment.
00:08:47This would have Venezuela taking a point.
00:08:49So they'd go to seven.
00:08:51Ecuador, their game has started against Mexico.
00:08:53They'd be on a point as well.
00:08:55So all to play for in both of these two games.
00:09:09Ball for Jamaica.
00:09:16Here's the coach.
00:09:18Amir Hakrimson.
00:09:22Looking into the news from Jamaica, Mo.
00:09:26The newspaper Jamaica Observer today.
00:09:30Has a great story about the difference between the coaching staff.
00:09:36And the Jamaican Federation.
00:09:39Apparently.
00:09:41As the report from this Jamaican newspaper.
00:09:44This could be the last game.
00:09:46For.
00:09:48Hakrimson.
00:09:50Of Jamaica.
00:09:52That'd be quite interesting.
00:09:54And he still has two years left in his contract.
00:09:59He.
00:10:00Hakrimson took over.
00:10:02Was it back in September of twenty.
00:10:03Twenty twenty two.
00:10:05And.
00:10:06With his appointment.
00:10:08Hard challenge coming in there.
00:10:10Studs to the ankle.
00:10:12Of Lassie Baudier.
00:10:17But.
00:10:18When.
00:10:19Hakrimson took over this Jamaican side.
00:10:21There was expectation because of the players that had.
00:10:23Chosen to represent Jamaica.
00:10:25The likes of Miquel Antonio.
00:10:27Your Demaree Graves.
00:10:29Bobby DeCordova Reed.
00:10:31And they've seen some improvement.
00:10:33But there's still.
00:10:35That next step that we're waiting and anticipating for them to take.
00:10:36Obviously.
00:10:37Leon Bailey is not.
00:10:38Involved with the squad.
00:10:40They're checking for a potential red card on this challenge.
00:10:44Right now.
00:10:45Darwin.
00:10:46But he's.
00:10:47Will miss.
00:10:48The quarterfinals.
00:10:50He's one of the four players in Venezuela.
00:10:53With yellow cards.
00:11:04I think we should go with.
00:11:06Dr. Joe.
00:11:07Our rules.
00:11:08Analyst.
00:11:09To see if we can.
00:11:10Analyze and.
00:11:11Explain a little bit more.
00:11:12Why are they checking this red card.
00:11:13Joe.
00:11:16Well the referee has given a yellow card.
00:11:18As we have seen.
00:11:20But the V.A.R.
00:11:21Is checking it to see.
00:11:23If there's a level of excessive force.
00:11:25And what's the point of contact.
00:11:27Is it on the shoe.
00:11:29As we see here.
00:11:30Or is it higher up.
00:11:32On the leg.
00:11:33It may be just above the shoe.
00:11:35I don't see excessive force here.
00:11:37I don't know if the referee.
00:11:39Is going to be called over to the monitor.
00:11:43Thank you.
00:11:44Dr. Joe.
00:11:45Yeah I agree with Dr. Joe.
00:11:46The looks that I saw.
00:11:48It looked like a yellow card.
00:11:49Worthy.
00:11:50Of a challenge.
00:11:51I think the referee agrees and.
00:11:53Seems as though he's ready to get played.
00:11:54Continued.
00:11:56The referee is Italian.
00:11:58Maurizio.
00:11:59Mariani.
00:12:00Forty two years old.
00:12:01He was already in charge of one game.
00:12:02In this Copa America.
00:12:03The U.S.
00:12:04Bolivia.
00:12:06Showing five yellow cards in that game.
00:12:11With a lot of experience in Syria.
00:12:14One hundred and fifty one.
00:12:17Games.
00:12:20In Syria.
00:12:22As a referee.
00:12:27Ethan Pinnock.
00:12:28Ethan Pinnock.
00:12:31Gray couldn't get to the ball.
00:12:33Here's Venezuela controlling.
00:12:34And now it's Gonzalez.
00:12:37With a long kick.
00:12:40Machis.
00:12:41As I mentioned before.
00:12:42Is going to be out.
00:12:43For the quarter finals.
00:12:50It was a risk.
00:12:53It was a risk.
00:12:54And I'm surprised.
00:12:56Obviously it's just a late challenge.
00:12:57Sometimes you can get caught in these moments.
00:12:58But.
00:13:00If you know you're on that yellow card.
00:13:01You're almost tiptoeing.
00:13:03It's a challenge.
00:13:04And it's a.
00:13:05Ball that he didn't necessarily have to win.
00:13:06In that scenario.
00:13:08And now unfortunately for Machis.
00:13:09He'll miss the next game.
00:13:11Cephas.
00:13:12He's got a lot of speed.
00:13:14Cut it in front.
00:13:15Jordan.
00:13:16Osorio.
00:13:17The masked man.
00:13:28Jamaica.
00:13:29Eliminated.
00:13:30Yes.
00:13:31But the coach said.
00:13:33We'll need to finish the tournament.
00:13:35Strong.
00:13:36And I think that's what we're seeing from Jamaica right now.
00:13:38Well.
00:13:39Not just finish the tournament strong.
00:13:41Jamaica.
00:13:42They got their first goal in Copa America history.
00:13:44Through Mikel Antonio.
00:13:46But they want more.
00:13:47They want to leave this tournament.
00:13:48Although they are leaving the tournament.
00:13:49They want to leave.
00:13:51Also by getting their first point ever.
00:13:53In Copa America.
00:13:54This is the third time they played in this competition.
00:13:55And.
00:13:57The ball coming inside.
00:13:59The six.
00:14:00Salmon Rodon couldn't get to the ball.
00:14:02It's the third time they played in this competition.
00:14:04And every addition prior to this one.
00:14:06They left with no goals.
00:14:07And no points.
00:14:08They want to at least leave here with something.
00:14:10To take back with them.
00:14:11In addition to their first goal.
00:14:14Jose Martinez.
00:14:18In the back is Jordan Osorio.
00:14:20Here's number three from Venezuela.
00:14:22Now is Gonzalez.
00:14:26Gonzalez again.
00:14:27Now Osorio.
00:14:29Palmer.
00:14:30Putting the pressure on number three.
00:14:32And there is Rafael Romo.
00:14:38How good was Romo against Mexico?
00:14:41Some really big saves that he made in that game.
00:14:43And.
00:14:45Played a role in them getting that.
00:14:47Those crucial three points that.
00:14:49Secured Venezuela's berth into the next round.
00:14:51But the one play that comes to mind.
00:14:53Beyond the penalty kick.
00:14:54Of course.
00:14:56Is the breakaway that Jimenez had.
00:14:57He stayed big to the last moment.
00:14:59Makes a crucial save.
00:15:00And now.
00:15:01Venezuela entered this game knowing that they're secure.
00:15:03They're into the next round.
00:15:04Now it's just about.
00:15:05Who do you want to play next?
00:15:06You want to play Argentina?
00:15:07You want to play Canada?
00:15:09Well right now with the time they finish first.
00:15:11They will be playing Canada.
00:15:18Lativo Deer.
00:15:22Referee says play on.
00:15:25Segovia.
00:15:27Now it's Eduard Bello.
00:15:32One of the two super sub, no?
00:15:35Bello calling for the ball.
00:15:37Right through the.
00:15:39Right flank.
00:15:41There was Gonzalez.
00:15:42Back to Jose Martinez.
00:15:44El Brujo.
00:15:46Here's Jamaica.
00:15:47Getting the ball.
00:15:48Demarai Gray.
00:15:50What is he going to do?
00:15:51Number seven.
00:15:52Pushing the ball to Cefas.
00:15:54Inside the box.
00:15:55Rafael Romo.
00:15:56Getting to the ball first.
00:15:58So good by Demarai Gray to pick up the ball in midfield.
00:16:00And then I like the committed runs.
00:16:02He has Cefas.
00:16:03As well as Daniel Lowe.
00:16:04But they're both making the same run.
00:16:06So now his one ball is playing into two of them.
00:16:08They have no one.
00:16:09Centrally for Cefas to cut that ball back to.
00:16:12But a good example of how Jamaica.
00:16:14Can try to create in transition.
00:16:19There is a long ball.
00:16:20For Darwin.
00:16:22Machis.
00:16:24Aubrey Levin wants to take a shot and goal.
00:16:29That's a really good switch of play by Jose Martinez.
00:16:32Philadelphia Union.
00:16:34Man who patrols the midfield.
00:16:36Just changes the point of attack to get Machis in a 1v1 situation.
00:16:40I anticipate seeing him.
00:16:42Very anxious and playing with a level of urgency.
00:16:44Knowing that he'll miss the next game.
00:16:46Machis will be looking to put his stamp on this game.
00:16:48It's going to be a tough game.
00:16:50Especially in the attacking third.
00:16:54Now Osorio.
00:16:57Gonzalez.
00:17:04Jose Martinez.
00:17:11Bello.
00:17:12Salomon Rondon.
00:17:13Now a shot.
00:17:15Way above the goal.
00:17:16By Segovia.
00:17:18They're getting closer Mo.
00:17:19They're getting closer.
00:17:20They are.
00:17:22And what's encouraging is the connection.
00:17:24If you take a look at that last strike.
00:17:26From Machis.
00:17:28Always going wide.
00:17:31But you like the endeavor to take on the defender 1v1.
00:17:34But that last play.
00:17:36I like the connection between Rondon and Segovia.
00:17:38Pushing a little bit higher as a number 10.
00:17:42Putting the pressures.
00:17:44Salomon Rondon.
00:17:50There's Martinez.
00:17:51Jose Martinez.
00:17:53They call him El Brujo.
00:17:55Yeah.
00:17:56The Wizard.
00:18:00He's had a.
00:18:02I'd say indifferent season in Philly so far this year.
00:18:05He set the bar high for himself.
00:18:07In previous seasons.
00:18:09Becoming a real important part of.
00:18:11All the success the Philadelphia Union have had over the last few years.
00:18:14This year there's been maybe a little bit of inconsistency from his players.
00:18:17And a slight drop off as we see.
00:18:19You see Pinnock just kicked the ball out of balance.
00:18:21For about the third time so far in this first half.
00:18:23Pretty sloppy from the Jamaican defender.
00:18:31Aramburu.
00:18:38Angel.
00:18:40Now the ball is to Jordan Osorio.
00:18:42Wilkett.
00:18:44Angel.
00:18:47Aramburu.
00:18:49It's calling for the ball and this is Machis.
00:18:54In front of Machis.
00:18:57It was Cefas.
00:19:01Gray.
00:19:0318 minutes in the first half.
00:19:050-0 Jamaica.
00:19:06Venezuela.
00:19:07Group B.
00:19:09Match day 3.
00:19:11In group stage.
00:19:17And we saw some beautiful goals in the Euro this morning.
00:19:20So.
00:19:21Hopefully.
00:19:22It carries on in Copa America no?
00:19:24We saw some beautiful goals.
00:19:25We saw some.
00:19:26Last minute drama.
00:19:27Yes.
00:19:28In that England game.
00:19:29I think everyone was getting ready to.
00:19:31To write their piece about how England have disappointed.
00:19:33This tournament.
00:19:34Euros is the tournament I'm talking about.
00:19:36And then.
00:19:37Who would it be?
00:19:38Just a 21 year old.
00:19:40Jude Bellingham stepping up.
00:19:42With an absolute.
00:19:43Golazo.
00:19:44Bicycle kick.
00:19:46And then of course Harry Kane with the game winner.
00:19:49So will we see some late drama in these two games today?
00:19:53We will.
00:19:54But first.
00:19:56Tomorrow on Fox.
00:20:00It's a round of 16 doubleheader with France taking on Belgium.
00:20:03Followed by Portugal Slovenia.
00:20:06The coverage starts 11 a.m.
00:20:10Be there.
00:20:15Two great forwards.
00:20:17That we have on the field today.
00:20:19Mikhail Antonio.
00:20:20And Salomon Rondon.
00:20:22Hector.
00:20:23Coming up.
00:20:25For the corner kick.
00:20:26Third corner kick for Jamaica.
00:20:28In the first half.
00:20:30Was a throw in.
00:20:32It feels.
00:20:33Every time.
00:20:34Peter has the ball.
00:20:36It feels like a corner kick.
00:20:38It's a throw in.
00:20:40It's a throw in.
00:20:41It's a throw in.
00:20:42It's a throw in.
00:20:43It's a throw in.
00:20:44It's a throw in.
00:20:45It's a corner kick.
00:20:47The way he places the ball inside.
00:20:49The 18.
00:20:51Pinnock.
00:20:53Punching it out.
00:20:54By Romo.
00:21:02A little bit of back and forth action so far.
00:21:0420 minutes into this first half.
00:21:06Neither team has really established a long
00:21:08sustained spell of possession but.
00:21:11Both teams looking to try to make the most of their moments.
00:21:14here's number five Ethan peanut back to Casey Palmer Palmer under pressure
00:21:28Mikael Antonio placing the ball to Rinaldo Cifas
00:21:36now number 20 making the cross in here is gray waiting
00:21:44Venezuela trying to get out of this offensive attack by Jamaica this was
00:21:55going to be a beauty by Rinaldo Cifas this is really good play from Jamaica
00:22:01again Mikael Antonio dropping really deep to start this playoff but what I
00:22:05like is how they kept the play alive winning second balls getting John Bell
00:22:09advance on that left-hand side he has a couple of bodies to try to pick out and
00:22:13it's the run from out to in from Cefas the diving header and he just can't get
00:22:18the purchase on it that he's looking for good contact but it's always rising in
00:22:22that scenario but a better and probably the best opportunity we've seen so far
00:22:25from Jamaica
00:22:32Gonzalez Osorio
00:22:36I mean that's something to really keep an eye on is when Jamaica is building
00:22:44out the back just watch how deep the number nine Mikael Antonio drops to try
00:22:48to link a play part of it is to try to create an overload it's a different
00:22:52approach than we've seen from a lot of teams and how they try to create that
00:22:54overload centrally but him dropping deep now it's asking questions of the
00:22:58midfielders from Venezuela do they drop their line to pick him up and now that
00:23:03I'll leave a little bit more space and there he goes after the ball now the
00:23:07question is this mouth with the weather conditions there is an Austin right now
00:23:13with the temperature so high and all the running around that he's doing can he
00:23:18last 90 minutes that's the challenge that he's putting in front of himself
00:23:21Mikael Antonio but so far it's actually worked out in a couple scenarios because
00:23:26they've been able to find players who will take that space push a little bit
00:23:28higher so I'm undone making his one but just drift slightly offside but just
00:23:35something to keep an eye on and see how that plays out for Jamaica as they try
00:23:39to build out the back
00:23:43Jamali wait
00:23:49Lativo dear giving the ball for Wes Harden I thought I went for Jamaica
00:23:59two hard losses by Jamaica perhaps the worst against Mexico that 1-0 I think
00:24:14that they've been unlucky in this tournament Jamaica the the one no loss
00:24:18against against Mexico yeah they definitely felt like they were in that
00:24:21game and should have gotten more out of it and then even the game against against
00:24:25Ecuador right when it's 2-1 in the second half there was a massive shout
00:24:30for a penalty kick right that didn't go in their favor that may have been a
00:24:34little bit deflating for them they probably felt like they were hard
00:24:36harshly done by that decision ultimately they're chasing the game and go on to
00:24:40concede a third that would seal their fate but listen at some point you have
00:24:46to take control of your own destiny while we can talk about decisions not
00:24:49going your way and just being so close as we see their manager
00:24:53Hamer Haugenson looking on at some point Jamaica has to find a way to start
00:24:59taking that next step this is a massive tournament and a massive platform for
00:25:01them as they get set to prepare for World Cup qualifying so how can they
00:25:05build off of what's been a disappointing Copa America for them
00:25:08may you loosen the ball and here is behind Antonio number nine coming with
00:25:14all the strength control on the ball waiting for help
00:25:18then you'll get in the back for Venezuela taking it all the way down to
00:25:23the other side the Jamaican Territory
00:25:29Ethan peanut
00:25:33that table dear back to number five
00:25:40Palmer
00:25:43gets away with one because that is that was not his intended target
00:25:58fall against Reno the CIFAs
00:26:05Palmer
00:26:09Michael Hector
00:26:17at times I see let people do a number 15 moving himself into the midsection of
00:26:24the field yeah well because if Venezuela is not pressing higher up the pitch and
00:26:27there's no need for Jamaica to have three center backs being occupied and
00:26:31marked by one defender so right now it's just run done who's pushed up so you
00:26:36don't need you just need that that plus one right in between Pinnock and Michael
00:26:39Hector they have that covered and now that can free up lots of body air right
00:26:42there to pick up the ball higher up the pitch free kick for Jamaica foul against
00:26:48number 15 that people dear every time the ball goes near the 18 for free kicks
00:26:57in favor of Jamaica Venezuela has to be very careful because of the height or
00:27:02some of the defenders of the Jamaican national team
00:27:15Palmer
00:27:20the ball hit it down
00:27:23you can see the height there well this is smart by Jamaica they change the angle
00:27:28because the balls played set it starts up in a central position so they change
00:27:32the angle so now that it's a ball being played across the 18 for Damian Lotto
00:27:36rides up high trying to find that far post Venezuela just get caught sleeping
00:27:41slightly
00:28:02so
00:28:22Hector
00:28:32that was pressure against Jamali wait
00:28:45there is Jamaica
00:28:55now Venezuela leaving the ball back is he gonna take a shot
00:28:59it's gonna be the first corner kick for Jamaica and it's coming on the 28th
00:29:04minute on this first half that's good pressing from Venezuela to force the
00:29:08turnover against the Jamaican side high up the pitch couple sloppy passes risky
00:29:13ball there from panic back to wait and go and you see the pressure coming in
00:29:17from Rondon
00:29:21Fernando Batista in the stands looking on trying to encourage his Venezuela
00:29:25inside from a distance
00:29:29now it's Antonio it's a good recovery there from Osorio
00:29:54Miquel Antonio trying to advance the ball doesn't look over his shoulder to
00:29:57see the oncoming pressure no sorry I was able to get back and not only win the
00:30:02ball but when the ball backs for his side
00:30:09you know Antonio now is being watched and in Brazil
00:30:16gremio has made has placed an offer to bring it down to the Brazilian league
00:30:23be an interesting move now I yeah I'll just say that I'd be an interesting move
00:30:28the ball coming inside the box it's going to be another corner kick for
00:30:32Venezuela Venezuela starting to get more numbers forward playing a little bit
00:30:37more direct now I don't bootle getting higher up on that left-hand side just
00:30:46making that underlapping run Jamaica have a couple bodies centrally so they're
00:30:50well-covered Michael Hector making the intervention at the near post I want to
00:30:55how much conversation is going on between Batista and Kufri down on the
00:30:59bench the ball covered up in the air Jamali weights get into the ball first
00:31:11Omar Alarcon is the assistant talking with Fernando Batista and giving all the
00:31:19messages to Leandro Kufri
00:31:26in the meantime on the other side he's very focusing in the game the coach of
00:31:34Jamaica Hal Grimson
00:31:3915 minutes to play in this game
00:31:44a group B live standards right now with a 0-0 time Mexico Ecuador Mexico at the
00:31:57present time it's being eliminated from Copa America
00:32:03here's peanut
00:32:10it's gonna leave the ball for his teammates
00:32:17Jamali wait what's hearted here's number 12 for Jamaica next to him
00:32:25Darwin machis wants to take it away and here's the Venezuelan get in the back
00:32:29for the vino tinto Segovia
00:32:39Lativa dear couple careless passes from both sides in midfield no appreciation
00:32:46for maintaining possession at the moment a little bit hectic from both sides
00:32:50Herrera machis
00:32:57now the ball is to the captain Salomon Rondon now Gonzalez making the cross
00:33:03inside the 18th and in it out there was Jordan Osorio play on says the referee
00:33:11Maurizio Mariani from Italy throw in for Venezuela 0-0 32 minutes in the first
00:33:18half
00:33:25Gonzalez
00:33:33Damon Lowe
00:33:39harden
00:33:42Ethan peanut
00:33:46open up the left there is number 21 Jonathan Bell
00:33:56great
00:34:00peanut on the pressure by Segovia great coverage and look at the reaction of
00:34:07Damari gray and eat that panic they're both throwing their hands up because
00:34:10there's no option part of that is because the way that Venezuela are set
00:34:14up defensively how they're able to pressure and force the play to be
00:34:17predictable but the other part is Jamaican needs some more movement off
00:34:20the ball from their midfield players from their attacking players as well
00:34:27good blind switch there Mikhail Antonio hardened next to him
00:34:36Aramburu being left behind it's gonna be a shutout goal and why the shot by
00:34:42Reynaldo Cephas it's so good by Mikhail Antonio first of all the switch to open
00:34:47up the game to now break all that pressure that I was talking about from
00:34:50Venezuela Mikhail Antonio finds himself 1v1 just
00:34:53skips by a couple defenders he's looking for the 1-2 when it falls to the foot of
00:34:57Cephas he's got to do better with that strike he has time to get his shot off
00:35:02but he just drags it wide really never tests out the keeper whatsoever
00:35:08the diva deer says I didn't touch him Jan hello Rada it's down you're gonna
00:35:14always say I didn't touch him we throw your hands up straight away and it's
00:35:19like what happened yesterday in the Canada Chile game oh yeah that elbow
00:35:23Moisey Bambito escaped one there
00:35:28Leandro who Fred is saying I want you to play more white on the left
00:35:44I'm sure he's telling Darwin machis trying to yell he's playing on that side
00:35:50of the field it's always Herrera number six
00:35:58may you bring it the ball down may you get on the rebound
00:36:04Bale's been he's been really quiet on this side has yeah haven't seen Bale
00:36:09find a way to get many touches on the ball just seven touches so far in the
00:36:15opening 35 minutes plus a player that they have the expectation for him to get
00:36:20on the ball to try to create the more he gets on the ball the more my cheese gets
00:36:26on the ball Herrera through the middle that's how they can link up play and get
00:36:30run Don more involved in the game so he's also been a player who's been
00:36:33starved of service and opportunities as he fights through a couple defenders now
00:36:38that was a nutmeg huh cheeky little nutmeg
00:36:46Palmer didn't like it
00:36:51can't shake with gray now he's not going with Palmer
00:37:01a little shoulder
00:37:06Gonzalez with the throw-in Segovia now Gonzalez
00:37:13the ball continues to be a throw-in for Venezuela
00:37:20Martinez back to Gonzalez here is Gonzalez headed out by Ethan Peanut
00:37:39now Segovia
00:37:43well that is Willer doing a good job of keeping the ball higher up the pitch now
00:37:52but without really creating any any worrying chances if you're a Jamaican
00:37:58fan everything is on the perimeter of the 18 nothing really no real balls
00:38:02played into the 18 to try to test out Jamali Wade into it in a way that's any
00:38:07any shape or form uncomfortable no entry balls in the rundown where he
00:38:12could try to spin and hold off a defender to link up play USA plays
00:38:20Uruguay in simultaneous play tomorrow in their last game of group stage and maybe
00:38:27the tournament that's an FS1 tomorrow at 8 p.m. Eastern don't don't say that
00:38:34don't say maybe the tournament right just a group stage yes Salomon it's not
00:38:42going to be it better not be and this is exactly what I was talking about some
00:38:47entry balls into the final third good spot there by Rondon just playing
00:38:52between the right the left wing back to me and John Bell and Ethan Pinnock he
00:38:56might have been better off just laying it laying that ball off for the
00:38:59onrushing run as Segovia but your all-time leading goal scorer he's gonna
00:39:03take that chance on
00:39:07Segovia
00:39:11the ball to Martinez
00:39:15I don't put a kill couldn't get to the ball it's gonna be a throw-in for
00:39:18Jamaica
00:39:21in a Casey Palmer the ball back to Michael Hector
00:39:40Lativo dear back to number three
00:39:45Palmer video in front of him
00:39:52Nick I'll Antonio
00:40:00Palmer to Jonathan Bell number 21 he's in the field Bell because Greg me had an
00:40:13issue during the warm-up trainers were talking to him and finally number 21
00:40:20what's the last minute substitution before the game started John Bell the
00:40:26Seattle Sounders player getting just a second cap for the Jamaican national
00:40:33team and it could prove to be an important game for him Jamaica would go
00:40:38on to find a way to get a point out of this game he's part of the history
00:40:42making Jamaican side
00:40:49Jamali wait
00:40:54five minutes plus in this first half Jamaica get on the ball and here's
00:41:01Mikhail Antonio trying to get it a long shot it's just not like it's just
00:41:09rushing now Jamaica do so well to win this ball in transition and Mikhail
00:41:14Antonio just over eager with the chance and here's a ball for Edward Bello
00:41:23get in another corner kick for Venezuela I say decision-making for both sides
00:41:30have been the one thing lacking when they do get to the final third bail
00:41:34earns a corner kick for his side but he made it he may have been better off
00:41:37receiving that ball and looking to size up John Bell take him on knowing that
00:41:41he's a new player hasn't played many minutes in this tournament or any
00:41:44minutes in this tournament prior to this game
00:41:49or so do you and again they're all moved into the 18 waiting for the cross
00:41:57machis here's the cross the ball is coming almost was going to be a beauty
00:42:04another corner kick great save by Jamali wait you see Jamali waits fate
00:42:08that just tells you the whole story of how close that actually was I think
00:42:12everyone was anticipating that was gonna sell over the bar but look at the 3b2
00:42:15here another Jamaican player never steps out there's not enough pressure on the
00:42:19ball and my cheese is actually trying to just put in a dangerous cross over hits
00:42:24it and almost is rewarded for gambling but Jamali wait with the last-ditch
00:42:30effort there to put it over the bar for a corner kick
00:42:35and a voodoo number four always waiting for the ball and the far post now if you
00:42:44ask my cheese you'll say no I wanted to place it there of course here's a radar
00:42:49I know the corner kick for Venezuela
00:43:01this go free
00:43:14my cheese with a corner kick
00:43:21short the ball to Segovia now my cheese inside the 18 it's going to be a goal
00:43:29kick for Jamaica just the lack of execution is what's missing from both
00:43:37sides Jamaica most of their chances have come in transition whether it's pressing
00:43:41in the midfield picking up the ball there and driving but then ambitious
00:43:46strikes from distance instead of looking for a clear-cut chance and then from
00:43:49Venezuela standpoint getting to the end line getting a look at that chance for
00:43:54my cheese just putting a ball into a dangerous area and Jamali wait strong
00:43:58right hand shows his athleticism good timing here to shuffle over to get to
00:44:04get it a good palm to that to the rejection dejection of some of the
00:44:09Venezuelan fans but still just that last ball lacking from both teams
00:44:15two minutes plus in this first half
00:44:35the ball Martinez great pass what a mood my cheese
00:44:42every level gets the ball in front of him is Wes Harden my cheese making the
00:44:48cross right into the hands of Jamali wait
00:44:53to my new it says everybody up we have an update in that Mexico-Ecuador game
00:45:09right now 0-0 still 0-0 so as it stands it is still
00:45:20Venezuela top of the group
00:45:29may you get into the ball it bounced off his legs it's gonna be a throw in for
00:45:36Venezuela there you see the live standing Venezuela still top of the
00:45:40group and Ecuador just notching by Mexico based off a goal differential as
00:45:47they both be level on four points Mexico have to win their game in order to
00:45:51advance Venezuela a draw will do for them but again they're chasing history
00:45:56both of these teams are chasing history actually Jamaica and Venezuela for
00:45:59different reasons Venezuela trying to win all three games in the group stage
00:46:04for the first time at Copa America and Jamaica just looking for that first
00:46:08point what a great nutmeg against Mikhail Antonio the ball is coming to
00:46:14the side now Edward Bagel this got a finish in a corner kick it's good
00:46:23pressing for Jamaica to get out wide to deny the service because Edward bailed
00:46:28let's take a look at the nutmeg I yeah yeah I Alexander Gonzalez behave and
00:46:35bail has time and space but he just slows up a little bit and that allows
00:46:40John Bell to get close enough to get contact to deny the service into the
00:46:4418 Edward Bayo with a corner kick one minute stoppage time now the ball come
00:46:56in hit it out by Ethan Pina here is Jamaica Rinaldo Cephas here's number
00:47:0420 wasn't that an obstruction it's just but it's it's I understand what
00:47:11Cephas is doing with the boy trying to advance the ball and just drive and
00:47:15propel his team forward but it's just a little bit too individual from a
00:47:19Jamaican standpoint it's been a fast-paced game in the first 45 minutes
00:47:24but Maurizio Mariani from Italy 42 years old referee finishes the first half at
00:47:31the Q2 Stadium in Austin Texas 0-0 we send you to Rockstone and again
00:47:42we welcome you back to Q2 Stadium in Austin Texas after 45 minutes Jamaican
00:47:49Venezuela are 0-0 and I believe it's going to be a substitution for the
00:47:53Jamaican national team Rinaldo Cephas staying in the locker room number eight
00:48:00Dixon coming in alongside Maurizio this is Luis Omar Tapia 0-0 Maurice what are
00:48:11the two teams have to do in the second half if they want to get a W for
00:48:17Venezuela they have to show more patience when they get into the final
00:48:20third they've done a decent job whether that's winning the ball back from
00:48:24pressuring Jamaica's back line or just from advancing the ball but when they
00:48:28get to that final action whether it's a shot across they have to find a little
00:48:32bit more composure to deliver that that good final ball to lead to a chance and
00:48:37from Jamaica they have to be a little bit more patient when they win the ball
00:48:40in transition we've seen too many rush shots from distance too many individual
00:48:44efforts solo runs but they got to show a little bit more collectiveness from a
00:48:48Jamaican standpoint here we go second half on the way
00:48:55Jordan Osorio
00:49:03Q2 Stadium in Austin Texas it feels like being in Maturin Venezuela every time
00:49:11they played at home free kick for Jamaica
00:49:20the referee for today's matches Maurizio Mariani from Italy
00:49:32international referee since 2019 94 degrees humidity 43% feels like 101 so
00:49:41very comfortable is what you're saying
00:49:45well oh wait control of the ball inside the six after the back pass Michael
00:49:55Hector harden loosen the ball and here is my cheese
00:49:59giving it to number six arena what is it gonna do penalty I gotta see this again
00:50:04Maurice a do the referee says play on and at first glance to me it looked like
00:50:12it's the right decision I'm just curious why Herrera doesn't take the
00:50:18strike on earlier Venezuela do a really good job of a pressure in Jamaica who
00:50:25are really ambitious try to play out their own 18 they get caught in
00:50:29possession referee gets clambered into and hits the ground there but I'm
00:50:34surprised when Herrera gets that ball essentially doesn't take the strike on
00:50:37after that first touch and there is the fall by will get Angel
00:50:55for the moment is no review play on says Marty to Mariani and that's what a radar
00:51:04perhaps was asking the Italian referee
00:51:12great playing the back Ethan peanut
00:51:18Segovia heading the ball down and here's Solomon Rondon Martinez giving it to
00:51:25Edward video back to Martinez great ball on the side Gonzalez trying to get
00:51:33inside the box here's video Herrera couldn't get to the ball now it's Adam
00:51:39voodoo machis Segovia Segovia again loosen the ball get in the back for
00:51:47Venezuela we don't think of pushing inside the box and I'm gonna cross and
00:51:51pay your goal
00:52:02for Venezuela yes I go lasso by a dwarf video inside the six one zero
00:52:22well Venezuela came out for the second half and they've met business they
00:52:29started this playoff well but they do so well they just keep the play alive but
00:52:33keep an eye on bail he just creeps to the back post both center backs from
00:52:38Jamaica or caught ball watching they're worried about Solomon Rondon and none
00:52:42of them tracks the run from bail at the back post he does so well just sneak in
00:52:47and just heads it down low so hard for Jamali wait he's done so well in goal
00:52:51for Jamaica so far to get low to deny bail getting a second goal of the
00:52:56competition to put Venezuela up 1-0 and what I start to the second half Maurice
00:53:03the placement of the ball between the post and wait was perfect well we were
00:53:11you were asking me what needs to change and I said it's that final ball said
00:53:16final ball has to be a little bit better and our boo had enough time to get it
00:53:20back on his right foot it's a right footed fullback playing on the left side
00:53:24not enough pressure on the ball from Jamaica and that opens up the window to
00:53:27not only get the service in but then the lack of marking at the back post and
00:53:32bail gets his second goal the tournament fourth goal for his country playing for
00:53:39Mazatlan in Mexico 28 years old right now Venezuela making history for the
00:53:53first time they could win three games in group stage and there is the man
00:54:04responsible for all this for the success Fernando Batista he's staying even kill
00:54:11Batista not showing too much emotion not overreacting to the moment just yet but
00:54:18you know he'll be watching on proud of the way that his team has started off
00:54:21the second half Dixon couldn't get to the ball
00:54:34speaking with one of the member of the Venezuelan coaching staff I asked him
00:54:40more about what has Batista changed in Venezuela for this success and his
00:54:50answer was the tactical flexibility that he gives his players has made a
00:54:58big impact on our game I think that's one of the main if not main but most
00:55:09important roles of a manager is to have that tactical flexibility to have some
00:55:14nuance to how you play because you can go into a game with a sort of formation
00:55:19with a certain game plan but the game always gives you something you have to
00:55:22be able to respond to it so Venezuela are in a really good run of form at the
00:55:27moment coming into this tournament I'm not sure many people pick them to get
00:55:30out of this group and to be leading the group to be winning the group so they've
00:55:34turned some heads they surprise some people but within their group they're
00:55:37probably right on course
00:55:41Segovia the ball for Machis who's helping there's someone coming on the
00:55:46right side by himself Salomon Rondon calling for the ball I throw in for
00:55:53Venezuela inside the box here is the captain of Vino Tinto Salomon Rondon
00:55:58back to Machis he's gonna make the cross the ball down still in play
00:56:07Gonzalez now it's Herrera Jangel crossing the ball too far too high now
00:56:14it's going to be a goal kick for Jamaica and it's a wasted opportunity from
00:56:18Herrera you see Venezuela when they change the tempo when they increase the
00:56:22pace of the game just another little notch it's been hard for Jamaica to
00:56:27respond good movement off the ball for Machis to come centrally when Salomon
00:56:31Rondon drifts wide and as the ball gets recycled across you're just looking for
00:56:35more quality on the delivery from Herrera look at the pressing here yes
00:56:40sir Mayo trying to get to every every ball
00:56:54at the moment moving ahead with this result
00:57:02Herrera the ball coming inside the box there is value of the rebound no
00:57:07problem for Jamali wait at the moment with this 1-0 Venezuela will be playing
00:57:14Canada and I bet you if you were to ask them they probably say they'd rather
00:57:19play Canada than Argentina in the next round of course Palmer here's Dixon
00:57:26it's a committed challenge from outer Moodle Dixon trying to liven up the
00:57:31crowd the select fans that are there in attendance to support Jamaica he's
00:57:35trying to get them on their side there's a camera pans you can see it is a sea of
00:57:39red and the stands there in Austin corner kick Casey Palmer's second corner
00:57:49kick for Jamaica bet your first third corner kick gotta beat that first man on
00:57:58these deliveries give yourself a chance if you're Jamaica Palmer trying to hit
00:58:11it out
00:58:17Wes Harden
00:58:21Lativa Deer
00:58:25Bell putting the ball inside the box
00:58:30those are dangerous balls
00:58:40this is a great atmosphere with all the Venezuelan fans today in this stadium in
00:58:56Austin John killer radar great ball for the captain here is Salomon Rondon get
00:59:02it to the ball
00:59:11Oh
00:59:18for Venezuela the gladiator came up fought his way into the box to zero
00:59:41well Venezuela have started this second half off with real intention and
00:59:46momentum is in their favor but this pass here from Herrera to just split the two
00:59:54defenders the strength the balance the composure from the big man up top
01:00:00Solomon Rondon to keep his momentum to keep his balance and just get a little
01:00:05touch on the ball to get his 43rd goal for his country to double the lead here
01:00:12what a special moment what a clean and clear finish but the build-up to this
01:00:18goal was well composed by Venezuela and well-deserved the body control in
01:00:27concentration on the ball ball
01:00:3543 goals in 106 international appearances for the captain Salomon
01:00:43Rondon and Venezuela have won the last 16 matches when he has scored well they
01:00:52look good like they're in route to make that 17 but the two passes that led to
01:00:57that goal were Rondon Bay you're calling for the ball he gets it number 25 back
01:01:03to Rondon he's gonna take a shot it's gonna be a corner kick seven for
01:01:08Venezuela well the waves of pressure are continuing now for Venezuela they are
01:01:13sensing blood in the water and are looking to feast on it but the two
01:01:17passes I was gonna get to leading up to the goal the first one just cuts open
01:01:22the back the midfield line the second one splits the two defenders and Rondon
01:01:28he makes it look easy to that finish was far from easy as he's holding off two
01:01:33defenders Osorio Angel Herrera Martinez Rondon
01:01:44Bay you everybody inside the box to get the cross coming in get it out by number
01:01:53five Ethan peanut Bay you again dancing with the ball is Osorio there is the
01:02:01mastermind right at the edge of the six trying to get it out here's the captain
01:02:05Damien Lowe anywhere he can great loses the ball it's in play
01:02:16Machis to Herrera the third one it's coming Venezuela doing a good job right
01:02:25now of creating space wide to create space centrally Machis gets on the ball
01:02:31that draws a player out two players out centrally excuse me out of the center of
01:02:36the park to now allow Herrera to get on the ball no one can close him down just
01:02:40enough and he just drags that shot wide he's claiming a deflection substitution
01:02:51Jefferson Sotelo is going to come in Machis
01:02:59leaving the field so the Smurf is coming in the Vino Tinto Smurf
01:03:10Herrera also leaving the field at number eight Tomas Rincón and he gets the
01:03:23captain Ben from Salomon Rondon Tomas Rincón the player with most caps in the
01:03:30Venezuela national team bringing in some experience to the center of the park
01:03:35135th cap today for Rincón 36 years old plays for Santos now in Brazil and
01:03:41Jefferson Sotelo he's all he's at Gremio now but it to MLS viewers don't
01:03:48recognize him and remember him from his Toronto FC days as well
01:03:54when Venezuela beat Mexico the players in the locker room they started playing
01:03:58salsa you like salsa no you know what you don't like so I like me a little
01:04:02salsa of course yeah so they were playing the songs of Oscar Deleon I'm
01:04:07quite sure today they will also play some of his songs the song that they
01:04:13were playing after the beat Mexico it was you're at us you're at us means you
01:04:18will cry you will cry bilingual come on now you know that you know that
01:04:27well at the moment you make they're making Jamaica cry because of the way
01:04:30that they're playing so connected doing a good job of compacting their lines in
01:04:35the right moment and then expanding the game when they need to well there's the
01:04:39commentators jinx but Jamaica need to just find a little bit more connectivity
01:04:42the game's getting too stretched
01:04:49pardon right now Venezuela with nine points
01:04:55in group B Palmer warning great and then he gives the ball away
01:05:09Segovia that's a long pass
01:05:15looking for Salomon Rondon
01:05:25great
01:05:35Mikhail Antonio
01:05:43great here's Jamaica now to Dixon inside the 18
01:05:49I know the corner kick for Jamaica
01:06:05dimmer right great for the corner kick
01:06:09Damien Lowe
01:06:12Lativo Dier
01:06:14Pena
01:06:15Hector
01:06:16they're all coming in trying to get one back
01:06:22Martinez there is the wizard
01:06:28Venezuela back to Martinez so tell the waiting the ball is coming to number 10
01:06:35headed out by Wes Harden here's Harden one more time the ball was already out
01:06:39it's gonna be a goal kick for Jamaica well Martinez is he picks his head up and
01:06:45he sees his only option in the 18 to try to pick out his hotel though who's not
01:06:50going to win many contests aerial contest so he's patient he tries to take
01:06:55a longer touch to see if there's more bodies that can get forward then he just
01:06:58tries to clip that ball to the back post but he'd already overrun it
01:07:05tomorrow on Fox it's round of 16 doubleheader with France taking on
01:07:09Belgium followed by Portugal Slovenia coverage starts at 11 a.m.
01:07:14Eastern on Fox two good games France Belgium's gonna be a fun one huh
01:07:23Portugal obviously they made a lot of changes in their last group stage game
01:07:26but they'll be looking to respond after that Georgia loss
01:07:30Gonzalez
01:07:32Rondon
01:07:34I think it's gonna be an easy one for France easy one I think
01:07:39okay
01:07:41Belgian fans will be watching and pretty annoyed with that comment and take a
01:07:44look at that first goal time and space for Adam Bru to pick it head pick his
01:07:48head up get it back on his favorite right foot and just curl that ball to
01:07:52the far post to the unmarked run of Edward Bale to open the scoring in 48
01:07:59minute here and that's the response you want to see if you're Venezuela in the
01:08:02second half come out at halftime provide a spark get these fans on their feet
01:08:07from Jamaica now we're looking for a response
01:08:13Adam Bru
01:08:16Jefferson Sotelo
01:08:27Adam Bru calling for the ball here it's number four for Venezuela
01:08:33great get it back for Jamaica Martinez right in front of him trying to get the
01:08:38ball that's a foul it's gonna be a free kick for the Jamaican national team
01:08:52under coach Batista before
01:08:54this is a good look at Adam Bru he was clearly onside and just everyone gets
01:09:03caught so focused on Solomon Rondon no one checks their shoulder to see the run
01:09:08from Edward Bale coming from a wide position
01:09:17free kick
01:09:19Damien Lowe
01:09:20Damien Lowe
01:09:22coming from behind at the far post
01:09:27Ethan Peanut
01:09:29near the penalty spot great
01:09:32to put this ball inside the box
01:09:36poor delivery which is telling them the thing that was gonna be in the far post
01:09:42DeMarie Gray these are the moments that you have to utilize to get yourself back
01:09:46into this game
01:09:47Jamaica haven't created a ton from the run of play so set pieces are an area
01:09:51where they have to lean as we get set to see two more changes
01:09:59Substitution
01:10:02number 11 Nicholson in
01:10:05number 16
01:10:07Pharoah Anderson in
01:10:09number 12 Al Harden
01:10:12Michael Antonio
01:10:18I'm surprised at that
01:10:19at Antonio?
01:10:20at Antonio yes
01:10:21yeah I'm the same
01:10:25here's the ball
01:10:26long
01:10:31Solomon Rondon
01:10:35Damien Lowe
01:10:39Dixon
01:10:40he lost the ball
01:10:42Soteldo now it's gonna be a throw in
01:10:45for Venezuela
01:10:47there's El Pitufo
01:10:48see the smurf
01:10:52Soteldo
01:11:01Angel playing the back
01:11:02to Rafael Romo
01:11:07that's a long ball just giving it away
01:11:10Jamali Wade
01:11:15Bello and Rondon
01:11:16have Venezuela right now ahead of the scoreboard
01:11:202-0
01:11:34Dixon couldn't get to the ball
01:11:45Thomas Rincón
01:11:46bringing it back to Jordan Osorio
01:11:52back again to number 3
01:12:02Aramburu
01:12:03and we hear the
01:12:04Ole Ole
01:12:08you love hearing it when you're the team in possession
01:12:11you hate hearing that sound
01:12:12when you're the team chasing shadows
01:12:22Solomon Rondon
01:12:25Segovia
01:12:27it's a foul by
01:12:30Michael Hector
01:12:33free kick for Venezuela
01:12:43it's a strong challenge
01:12:45for Michael Hector
01:12:46he got tired of hearing the Ole
01:12:47so he just steps out of his center back position
01:12:57that's what
01:12:58normally happens right
01:12:59when you hear the Ole
01:13:01just make the foul quick
01:13:03just look at this pass again
01:13:04the weight
01:13:05on that ball from Herrera
01:13:06the first touch from Rondon
01:13:08to put him in space
01:13:09but then look at the strength
01:13:11as he holds off Hector
01:13:13holds off the other defender
01:13:16and is just able to get
01:13:17just enough
01:13:18of a touch
01:13:20the last minute to go
01:13:21beyond the on-rushing
01:13:22Jamali weight and goal
01:13:24to double the lead
01:13:25for Venezuela
01:13:26you see
01:13:27the reaction from their manager
01:13:29Fernando Batista
01:13:30as he watches on from above
01:13:35Fernando Batista
01:13:36with a lot of experience
01:13:37with youth
01:13:39and that's what this
01:13:40Venezuelan team has
01:13:41a lot of youth
01:13:44great future
01:13:45for Divino Tinto
01:13:47when he coached
01:13:48Argentina U-20
01:13:49and in that roster in 2019
01:13:51he had Julian Alvarez
01:13:54and Tiago Almada
01:13:57not too bad players
01:13:58to have in your squad
01:13:59two of them went on to
01:14:01win the World Cup
01:14:02with Argentina
01:14:03alongside Lionel Messi
01:14:04and Di Maria
01:14:05and that whole cast of superstars
01:14:08so you see the progression
01:14:09of youth players
01:14:10and
01:14:11obviously we know about
01:14:12the pipeline of quality
01:14:13for Argentina
01:14:14but he'll be looking to take
01:14:15those same exploits
01:14:16Fernando Batista
01:14:17and
01:14:18apply some of those principles
01:14:19and
01:14:21styles of play
01:14:22with this group
01:14:23from Venezuela
01:14:28free kick for Jamaica
01:14:30the foul was
01:14:31on Segovia
01:14:33it's going to be another
01:14:34substitution
01:14:35for Venezuela
01:14:41just a late challenge
01:14:42there from Segovia
01:14:44Lazi Boria
01:14:45does a good job
01:14:46he's now playing
01:14:47as a right wing back
01:14:48you see some of the
01:14:49tactical changes
01:14:50and personnel changes
01:14:51from Jamaica
01:14:52that's moved him
01:14:53to that right hand side
01:14:55we talked about Anderson
01:14:56coming in
01:14:57he's now playing centrally
01:14:58Damian Lowe
01:14:59has dropped back a line
01:15:00as one of the

01:15:16down from set piece
01:15:17deliveries
01:15:18as you mentioned
01:15:19early on
01:15:20they have some big bodies
01:15:21that can really attack
01:15:22the ball well
01:15:23but
01:15:24a little bit of flair
01:15:25being shown now
01:15:26what a great play
01:15:27and here is Anderson

01:16:14I'll tell you
01:16:15national team
01:16:16I'll tell you what
01:16:17the importance of
01:16:18winning all three games
01:16:19for Venezuela
01:16:20to me is
01:16:21really significant
01:16:22and it's not just
01:16:23a historical context
01:16:24and finish that thought
01:16:25in a second
01:16:27it's all yours
01:16:28but to me
01:16:29it's more so
01:16:30of sharpening
01:16:31your mentality
01:16:32yeah
01:16:33a draw in this game
01:16:34would see them
01:16:35still win the group
01:16:36but the mentality
01:16:37of winning games
01:16:38as opposed to
01:16:39just getting results
01:16:40is so significant
01:16:41especially as you
01:16:42approach the
01:16:43knockout rounds now
01:16:44just look at this ball
01:16:45from Youngho

01:19:05again number 8
01:19:06Andrade
01:19:07putting the pressure
01:19:09this is group B
01:19:10live standings
01:19:11right now
01:19:14Venezuela
01:19:15and Ecuador
01:19:17moving on
01:19:19to the quarter finals
01:19:20so
01:19:21Ecuador will play who?
01:19:23Ecuador
01:19:24currently
01:19:25will play Argentina
01:19:29a game where you have
01:19:30some strong thoughts on
01:19:31I do
01:19:33I think
01:19:34Ecuador can beat
01:19:35Argentina
01:19:36well of course they can
01:19:38anyone can beat anyone
01:19:39on a given day
01:19:40but you think they will
01:19:41let me rephrase it
01:19:42after Dixon
01:19:43taking the shot on goal
01:19:45and it's going to be
01:19:46a corner kick
01:19:47number 5 for Jamaica
01:19:48and yes
01:19:49I think Ecuador
01:19:50will beat Argentina
01:19:51if they play
01:19:53ok say that with some conviction
01:19:54say it with your chest
01:19:57it's the first shot there
01:19:58on goal now
01:19:59from Jamaica
01:20:00forcing a save
01:20:01out of Rafael Romo
01:20:02and it's
01:20:04good play centrally
01:20:05winning
01:20:06keeping possession more importantly
01:20:08and I like Dixon
01:20:09he has one thing on his mind
01:20:10picks his head up
01:20:11sees where the goalie is
01:20:13doesn't get
01:20:14the cleanest of contacts
01:20:16but at least it's enough
01:20:17to force a save out of Romo
01:20:18and give Jamaica
01:20:19a corner kick opportunity
01:20:22into the box
01:20:23Rafael Romo
01:20:24punching it out
01:20:28Michael Hector
01:20:31inside the 18
01:20:33Ethan Pinak
01:20:36Coroy Anderson
01:20:38back to number 3
01:20:43Casey Palmer
01:20:45moving the ball
01:20:46to Dixon
01:20:47here's the youngster
01:20:52Anderson
01:20:53Dixon
01:20:54too long
01:20:57for Nicholson
01:20:58he was not going to get to the ball
01:21:01I don't think
01:21:02Usain Bolt
01:21:03would have gotten to the ball
01:21:05I think Nicholson
01:21:06probably should take that touch
01:21:07as opposed to letting that ball
01:21:08run beyond him
01:21:10hasn't had a ton of influence
01:21:11since he's come on
01:21:13Jamar Nicholson
01:21:15hoping
01:21:16Jamaica were hoping to get
01:21:18some value
01:21:19from all the experience he brings
01:21:2319 goals
01:21:24in his 51 caps
01:21:31this is where you gotta be
01:21:32don't touch me
01:21:33yeah but it's a goal
01:21:34it's a goal
01:21:35it's a goal
01:21:36it's a goal
01:21:37this is where you gotta be
01:21:38don't touch me
01:21:39yeah but it's a goal
01:21:40don't touch me
01:21:41this is where you gotta be smart
01:21:42if you're Venezuela
01:21:43you know you're through
01:21:44to the next round
01:21:45you're going through
01:21:46as group leaders
01:21:47as it stands
01:21:48no silly yellow cards
01:21:49you know there's no reason
01:21:50for it at this point in time
01:22:01and that's where the frustration
01:22:02comes from
01:22:04from a Jamaican standpoint
01:22:06well when you get upset
01:22:07because he kicked the ball
01:22:08to the stands
01:22:09when there's another one
01:22:10right next to you
01:22:11yeah but you're not
01:22:12you're not thinking about that
01:22:13it's the heat of the moment
01:22:14you're emotional
01:22:15you're losing 2-0
01:22:16anything
01:22:17it doesn't take much to spark
01:22:19that flame
01:22:21especially when you're losing a game
01:22:22you know you're on your way home
01:22:24you're looking to get something
01:22:25out of it
01:22:26and everything's gonna annoy you
01:22:28unfortunately
01:22:29I've been there
01:22:32and I've seen a lot
01:22:33oh yeah
01:22:36Ethan Pienaar
01:22:37with the throw in for Jamaica
01:22:43inside the 6
01:22:46headed out
01:22:47it's gonna be a corner kick
01:22:49headed out by
01:22:50Wilker Angel
01:23:00another corner kick
01:23:02number 6
01:23:03for Jamaica

01:23:32with the three toes
01:23:33crossing the ball
01:23:34for
01:23:35Venezuela
01:23:37this is just a really good
01:23:38recovery run here
01:23:39from
01:23:40Caroy Anderson
01:23:41from Jamaica
01:23:42because Venezuela
01:23:43are off to the races
01:23:44in transition
01:23:45this is off of a
01:23:46Jamaican
01:23:47corner kick
01:23:48but look at the commitment
01:23:49from the shirts and white
01:23:50to get forward
01:23:51but then track the run
01:23:52of number 16 in yellow
01:23:53he's the one that made
01:23:54contact with Soteldo
01:23:55he's the one who's gonna
01:23:56continue his run
01:23:57he sees a threat
01:23:58at the far post
01:23:59and because he stays
01:24:00committed to
01:24:01his task
01:24:02defensively
01:24:03he's gonna have to
01:24:04get a little touch
01:24:05off of this
01:24:07to deny
01:24:08Venezuela
01:24:09getting their third goal

01:31:482 minutes to play
01:31:49in this game
01:31:51plus
01:31:52what a challenge
01:31:53that is
01:31:55that's a yellow card
01:31:57Michael Hector
01:31:58I mean
01:32:00went into that challenge
01:32:01with some real conviction
01:32:04from the youngster

01:32:30and just look at the time
01:32:31the angle of the run
01:32:32from Ramirez
01:32:35that's what kept him
01:32:36onside
01:32:37if he had just run
01:32:38straight in beyond
01:32:39but no he kind of
01:32:40curls his run
01:32:41that keeps him
01:32:42just on side
01:32:45his image there
01:32:46so the center back
01:32:47is not in alignment

01:37:15Ecuador goes through
01:37:16as the second place
01:37:17team in this group
01:37:19Mexico needs a goal
01:37:21desperately
01:37:22they've gotten close
01:37:23Kobe
01:37:24they've got another
01:37:25maybe 6 minutes
01:37:26to try to get one
01:37:28Mexico has really
01:37:29been pushing the pace
01:37:30over the last few minutes
01:37:32they've committed
01:37:33the numbers forward
01:37:34they've made all
01:37:35the substitutions
01:37:36that they possibly can
01:37:37and now it's a lot
01:37:38of just launching
01:37:39the ball forward
01:37:40trying to make it happen
01:37:41into the box
01:37:42handball
01:37:43that's what they're saying
01:37:44but no call
01:37:46and then a takedown
01:37:47outside of the box
01:37:48and players
01:37:49stop now
01:37:52and Mexico
01:37:53is not happy
01:37:57meanwhile
01:37:59more stoppage time
01:38:00will be added
01:38:01because of this injury
01:38:05due to discriminatory
01:38:06behavior among spectators
01:38:08this is something
01:38:11let's take a look
01:38:13launching the ball
01:38:16the challenge happens
01:38:19now there's definitely
01:38:20contact with the arm
01:38:21but then it's going to be
01:38:22was it in a natural position
01:38:29it hits the foot
01:38:30all the way over
01:38:31to give a yellow card
01:38:32to someone on the bench
01:38:34who it was against
01:38:36but somebody got one there
01:38:40let's get our rules analyst
01:38:41Dr. Joe Magnick
01:38:42to explain
01:38:43what might be going on here
01:38:44Dr. Joe
01:38:47you know when a player
01:38:48plays the ball first
01:38:49with his foot
01:38:50or sometimes even
01:38:51with his head
01:38:52and then it hits his hand
01:38:53inadvertently
01:38:55it's not ruled
01:38:56as a handling offense
01:39:01what do you think
01:39:02overall the way
01:39:03he's managed the game
01:39:04we were giving him
01:39:05props earlier
01:39:08well he's had a difficult
01:39:09start from the beginning
01:39:10I think the first
01:39:11eight fouls
01:39:12were called against Mexico
01:39:14that certainly upset him
01:39:16you know he's a
01:39:17CONCACAF referee
01:39:19I'm sure
01:39:20you know he's concerned
01:39:21going in
01:39:22about
01:39:23you know the opinion
01:39:25of a CONCACAF team
01:39:26playing a comma ball team
01:39:28but I think he's done
01:39:29the very best job
01:39:30he could possibly do
01:39:32he's got another
01:39:33few minutes to go
01:39:34so do these players
01:39:37Ecuador may have more
01:39:38minutes
01:39:39to play
01:39:40assuming they go through
01:39:41but it's not over yet
01:39:46left sideline
01:39:47knocked away
01:39:50Mexico fighting to get
01:39:51that ball
01:39:52and what a takeout
01:39:53that was from
01:39:54Pancho
01:39:56all the way back to goal
01:39:58Dominguez
01:40:00did I mention
01:40:01that it could get chippy
01:40:02in this match JB
01:40:03you did mention it
01:40:06could get chippier
01:40:08actually
01:40:11got about three minutes
01:40:12more will be added though
01:40:15after
01:40:16a couple of incidents
01:40:17later
01:40:19Valencia
01:40:20but this is the loudest
01:40:21this stadium has been
01:40:24in this dome
01:40:26fans know
01:40:27what's at stake
01:40:28and they know
01:40:29the clock is running
01:40:30against
01:40:31Mexico
01:40:35giving away
01:40:38yeah and no need
01:40:39to give that ball away
01:40:40plenty of time
01:40:41to hold possession
01:40:47sixth minute
01:40:48of stoppage time
01:40:52and another yellow card
01:40:54and another yellow card
01:40:55was given
01:40:58on that sideline
01:41:00long ball
01:41:01from Sanchez
01:41:03headed away
01:41:04once
01:41:05brought down
01:41:07Mexico keeping it
01:41:09can they create something
01:41:10at Sanchez
01:41:13an inviting ball
01:41:14into the box
01:41:15headed once
01:41:16Dominguez grabbed it
01:41:17it was too close to him
01:41:23he's not going to move
01:41:24for as long as he doesn't
01:41:25have to
01:41:27the referee's telling him
01:41:28though get up
01:41:30or I'll add more time
01:41:31yeah look
01:41:32these long balls are coming in
01:41:34and this is very
01:41:35good for
01:41:36the keeper to grab
01:41:37this one
01:41:40but this is just
01:41:41kind of
01:41:42trying to waste time
01:41:43for Ecuador
01:41:44you know the keeper goes
01:41:45down to the ground
01:41:46he holds on to it
01:41:47a few extra seconds
01:41:50long ball
01:41:51from Mexico
01:41:53Amadeus
01:41:54in the box
01:41:56no shot there
01:41:58penalty
01:42:23this is wild
01:42:24subject to review
01:42:27let's take a look
01:42:28as the long ball
01:42:29goes over the top
01:42:30it's laid right back down
01:42:32oh my
01:42:34I'm not sure that
01:42:36let's take a look
01:42:37where Torres is
01:42:38gets caught on the wrong side
01:42:39then he touches the ball
01:42:40then goes down
01:42:41for me
01:42:42that's not a penalty
01:42:44it's slight contact
01:42:46it's very slight
01:42:47contact here
01:42:48and watch
01:42:49he goes around
01:42:50totally gets the ball
01:42:51kicks it out
01:42:53he calls it
01:42:54let's bring in
01:42:55Dr. Joe
01:42:56what did you say?
01:42:57oh he's got a look
01:42:58Dr. Joe
01:42:59let's come on in
01:43:01give me and Kobe
01:43:02a rest here
01:43:05the VAR is suggesting
01:43:06that the referee
01:43:07take a look
01:43:08at the different angles
01:43:09because it looks like
01:43:10the defender
01:43:11has gotten a touch
01:43:12on the ball
01:43:13and if he has
01:43:14gotten that touch
01:43:15as this replay
01:43:16from behind the goal
01:43:17line shows
01:43:18he's got a shot
01:43:19he's got a shot
01:43:20he's got a shot
01:43:21he's got a shot
01:43:22as this line shows
01:43:23then there is no penalty
01:43:24that should be awarded
01:43:25this is gonna be
01:43:26wiped away
01:43:27there is no penalty
01:43:28it's gonna go crazy here
01:43:30oh yeah
01:43:31I was just gonna
01:43:32use that line
01:43:33uh
01:43:34thank you Dr. Joe
01:43:35but yes Kobe
01:43:36this is loudest
01:43:37the building was, right?
01:43:38the loudest
01:43:39when he blew the whistle
01:43:40for the penalty
01:43:42and now
01:43:43it's gonna be even louder
01:43:44depending how this goes
01:43:45either way
01:43:47it's difficult to see
01:43:49but from our angle
01:43:50we can see
01:43:51all the players huddled. He'll tell us.
01:43:58Ecuador is celebrating.
01:44:14No penalty.
01:44:17They will have a corner.
01:44:19And more time has already been added.
01:44:21And more will be added.
01:44:23No one knows how much.
01:44:25Only the referee.
01:44:26Here's a good look at it.
01:44:28There's the touch. It's easy to see.
01:44:30And yes, the player is going to go down.
01:44:31You can be angry, but it's not a penalty.
01:44:33The corner.
01:44:35Cleared out.
01:44:36That was Mexico's goalkeeper, Gonzalez,
01:44:39who was already up there in the yellow.
01:44:42They have no choice.
01:44:44They've got to get everybody in.
01:44:46Dominguez-Babel, that is loose, blocked.
01:44:49Wow, that was a great chance.
01:44:51Gonzalez scrambles at the other end.
01:44:53Still trying to get back there.
01:44:58Time against Mexico.
01:45:00Referee has blown the whistle.
01:45:04Game over.
01:45:05Ecuador goes on.
01:45:07Mexico's tournament ends tonight.
01:45:13And what a battle it was all the way through.
01:45:15And yes, Mexico, I think they're in shock with this.
01:45:18They played their hearts out.
01:45:20They committed numbers for it.
01:45:22They created chances, but just not enough.
01:45:24Not enough creativity on the Mexican side within this match.
01:45:27And fantastic defensive effort by Ecuador.
01:45:38It was a wild night, and it could have been even wilder
01:45:41had that penalty gone through.
01:45:44And then you talk about pressure.
01:45:46Would Pineda have taken another one?
01:45:48He had missed earlier in the week.
01:45:49Who knows?
01:45:50But it didn't go Mexico's way.
01:45:52Last night it went Canada's way.
01:45:54They advanced from concaga.
01:45:56Tonight, Mexico's tournament ends.
01:45:59Ecuador goes on.
01:46:01We'll see tomorrow if the USA will go on as they take on Uruguay.
01:46:05But Rob Stone, this game had everything, everything,
01:46:09except for a goal.
01:46:10And Mexico will now be headed home.
01:46:15J.P., Kobe, thank you.
01:46:17Rob Stone, Clint Dempsey, Alexi Lawless back here with you
01:46:19as we continue to take in the live images.
01:46:22It is a stunned Mexican crowd and Mexican team right now
01:46:26as Ecuador moves on to the quarterfinals for the third time
01:46:29in the last four editions of the Copa America.
01:46:32And the woes for the 15th-ranked team in the world continue.
01:46:35The co-hosts of the 2026 World Cup
01:46:37crash out in the group stage here at the Copa America.
01:46:41One of the big things, Clint, you can point to,
01:46:43their lack of goal scoring.
01:46:45Just one goal scored here in three group stage games.
01:46:49And also you've got to look at the fact
01:46:51that they didn't have a shot on goal until the 60th minute.
01:46:54So that's the problem.
01:46:55You've got to be testing the keeper.
01:46:56You've got to have shots on frame.
01:46:58In the first half, it looked like they were struggling
01:47:00to create chances in the attack in third
01:47:02and having better link-up play.
01:47:04And then at the end of the day, if you don't score goals,
01:47:06how are you going to win games?
01:47:07So you've got to test the keeper,
01:47:09and you've got to put the shots on frame
01:47:11if you want to get goals.
01:47:12Yeah, a valiant effort by Mexico.
01:47:14However, it couldn't help watching this game
01:47:17and thinking that Mexico was at its maximum.
01:47:19And if this is as good as it gets, it's not enough.
01:47:23Because guess what?
01:47:24They were playing an Ecuador team,
01:47:26but it was not at its maximum.
01:47:27And they still weren't able to break through.
01:47:29They weren't able to get the win.
01:47:30They obviously weren't able to score any goals.
01:47:32Santa Jimenez is not the answer.
01:47:34He doesn't put the fear into anybody
01:47:36when it comes to the attack.
01:47:38And he certainly doesn't put the ball in the net.
01:47:40So, man oh man.
01:47:42This is Mexico back to the drawing board.
01:47:44Yeah, and one quick thing.
01:47:45Where's your Cuauhtemoc Blancos?
01:47:47Where's your Chicharitos?
01:47:48Where are these type of players?
01:47:49Why aren't they being developed?
01:47:50Because you used to have them in the past.
01:47:51Why don't you have them now?
01:47:52So you have to look at their development.
01:47:54No teeth. No teeth from this Mexico team.
