Peru vs Mexico Match Preview
“Next game, we have to win it.” Those were the words of goal scorer Guerrero following Peru’s draw against La Celeste Olimpica. Will Mexico be the victims of the ambitious Peruvians?

Mexico's under-aged players are in to grab some experience through the 2011 Copa America.
Group C’s standings explain that Peru have the advantage over Mexico. In fact, the Blanquirroja recorded a vital 1-1 draw against Uruguay on Monday night.
Suddenly, it seems as if Peru’s chances of progressing into the next stage are wide open. However, only a good result against invitees Mexico in Mendoza will increase the size of Peru’s tag as one of the 2011 Copa America’s surprise packages.
Meanwhile, the story is different for the Mexicans. The country are trying to battle it out with an U-22 version of the senior national team. Losing is never an option in big tournaments but Mexico may not take their defeat to Chile on match-day 1 that bitterly.
Araujo’s splendid first-half header against La Roja actually proved that the net could still be found despite the absence of key players such as Javier Hernandez, Barrera or even Guardado.
Now inexperience might have been the cause behind the Mexicans’ inability to maintain their 1-0 lead against Chile. Either way, that encounter reciprocally offered more or less experience to El Tri’s youngsters.
The question is whether time will allow Mexico to regroup and bounce back against Peru. Note that the Peruvians have never failed to reach the quarter-finals of the Copa America since 1997 and they are now poised to maintain this routine in Argentina as well.
