Copa America 2016: Mexico 0-7 Chile - Five Talking Points

#5 Can this momentum propel Chile to another Copa America glory?

To go by their performance in the group games, Chile looked far from retaining the Copa America title they earned on home soil last year. La Roja lacked a flair in their game and many of the star names who played a vital role in the triumph last year, seemed out of form. But after today’s historic win, the dynamics may change again.

Juan Carlos Pizzi’s troops were running high on confidence and had their rings all over the match. With some precise and accurate passing style of play, Chile opened up Mexico’s rearguard deftly and grabbed the game with their cutting edge, burying every chance that came their way.

It was a night where virtually everything went well for the holders, and the momentum is on their side again. But will it steer them to a second straight Copa America triumph ? Or is this just a one off ? We shall wait and see.
