"First, I'd like to offer my most heartfelt apologies to the Mexican fans," Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio said. It occurred one day shy of a year since Mexico's previous loss, to Ecuador in the Copa group stage. So much for Chile to celebrate as Vargas scored a career-high four goals, Edson Puch added two, and the defending champions thoroughly dismantled Mexico from every angle in a 7-0 Copa America quarterfinal trouncing Saturday night. Vargas scored the first goal of his big night in the 44th, five minutes after an offside call cost him another score, then added goals in the 52nd, 57th and 74th. "Everyone knows that we are the champions and today we showed it," said Vargas, dedicating his performance to his family.
