Mexico and Bolivia played out a disjointed 0-0 draw in their Copa America opener, leaving hosts Chile clear at the top of Group A after the first round of matches.

Mexico have prioritised the Gold Cup campaign, which begins on July 9 with a game against Cuba, and have rested many of their star players. While the likes of Guillermo Ochoa and Javier Hernandez have not made the trip to South America, veteran defender Rafael Marquez made his 126th international appearance for El Tri.Mexico opted to field a young side which could not break Bolivia downEl Tri have prioritised their Gold Cup campaign, which begins on July 9Both teams look up to Chile and down on Ecuador in Group A
