Salomón Rondón scored on a penalty kick in the 57th minute, giving Venezuela a 1-0 upset over Mexico in a Copa América game.
Salomón Rondón scored on a penalty kick in the 57th minute and goalkeeper Rafael Romo made the goal stand up with a diving on Orbelin Pineda’s penalty try 28 minutes later, giving Venezuela a 1-0 upset over Mexico in a Copa América group-stage game played before a sellout crowd of 72,000 at SoFi Stadium. With the victory, Venezuela advances to the tournament semifinals while Mexico, a loser in four of its last six matches, needs a win over Ecuador on Sunday to avoid elimination.
Rondón beat González from the run of the play in the first half but his left-footed shot from distance hit the far post and bounced harmlessly away. Mexico had a chance to tie the score in the final minutes of regulation when Venezuelan defender Miguel Navarro was called for a handball. Claus confirmed the penalty through a video replay but Pineda was unable to convert, with Romo diving to his right to push the low shot away.
