Mexico 3, Uruguay 1 | Copa America Centenario Match Highlights. <br /> <br />Mexico got some late help from an old hand to bag a gritty 3-1 win over Uruguay in their Copa America Cenenatrio opener in Phoenix, Arizona. <br /> <br />Veteran defender and captain Rafael Marquez blasted home the winning goal in the 85th minute after a physical match-up between two sides that saw both teams end the game with 10 men. <br /> <br />Before Marquez’s winner, Mexico had taken an early lead on an Alvaro Pereira own goal in the fourth minute, after a superb cross from Andres Guardado, and looked to be in the driver’s seat when Matias Vecino was sent off for his second yellow card just before halftime. <br /> <br />But Uruguay came out of the gates strong in the second half, and the numbers – and the score – were evened in a quick span starting in the 73rd minute. Guardado was shown his second yellow card of the game, and captain Diego Godin headed home from the resulting free kick. <br /> <br />However, Marquez would smack home a loose ball five minutes from time and Hector Herrera iced the game with a close-range header in stoppage time.
