Chile draw with Mexico and Bolivia beat Ecuador at the Copa America

Copa America hosts Chile had two goals ruled out for offside in a roller coaster 3-3 draw against Mexico in Santiago.

Jorge Valdivia and Alexis Sanchez both had efforts ruled out in the final half hour and television replays suggested both players were fractionally offside.

Chile twice fought back from a goal down before taking a 3-2 lead through Arturo Vidal early in the second half only for Mexico to grab a 66th-minute equaliser from Vicente Vuoso.

Mexican striker Vuoso and Chile midfielder Vidal scored two goals each and the latter is now the top scorer in the competition with three goals.

Raul Jimenez had given Mexico a 2-1 lead which was cancelled out just before the break by Eduardo Vargas.

Chile lead Group A with four points from their two matches, level with Bolivia, who they face in their final group match on Friday.

Mexico have two points ahead of their clash with Ecuador, who have yet to gain a point.  

Bolivia scored three first half goals and then withstood heavy second half pressure to overcome Ecuador 3-2 on Monday.

Ecuador had not lost to Bolivia in the tournament since 1949 but they were soon trailing as Bolivia captain Ronald Raldes got the first after five minutes when he stooped to head home a corner kick from Martin Smedberg-Dalence.

And Smedberg-Dalence doubled the lead 13 minutes later when he side-footed home from 25 yards out.

Ecuador should have pulled a goal back from the penalty spot after 38 minutes but Enner Valencia had his kick saved at the second attempt after the referee order his first to be retaken when a Bolivian player encroached into the 18-yard box.

Marcelo Martins made no such mistake at the other end five minutes later when Bolivia were awarded a penalty for dangerous play.

With a strong wind behind them in the second half Ecuador stormed forward and got a goal back in the 47th-minute when West Ham striker Enner Valencia had a simple tap in.

Miler Bolanos (81) narrowed the deficit with a fierce 35-yard drive and Christian Noboa hit the bar with six minutes to go.

The win was Bolivia's first in the Copa America since 1997 and takes them to the top of Group A with four points following last week's 0-0 draw with Mexico.
