71' Mexico 0-0 Ecuador

65' Mexico 0-0 Ecuador
A loose ball comes to Romo near the top of the Ecuador box. He swivels quickly and fires a great first-time shot on goal, but it's straight to Dominguez.
61' Mexico 0-0 Ecuador
Venezuela are almost certainly headed towards a quarterfinal date with Canada, while Argentina will be taking on Ecuador unless Mexico can find a goal.
57' Jamaica 0-2 Venezuela
It's surely game over in Texas now as Venezuela double their advantage. Yangel Herrera is the provider, playing a nice pass that splits the Jamaica backline, but there is still a lot of work for Salomon Rondon to do. He shows good strength to hold off Ethan Pinnock, then prods the ball past the goalkeeper and into the net. Great finish.
59' Mexico 0-0 Ecuador
On the corner following VAR's decision, Mexico head the ball on at the near post and Gimenez has a glorious chance to score at the back post but misses his header from point-blank range!
58' Mexico 0-0 Ecuador
Replays show that Torres got a touch on the ball before making contact with Arteaga, prompting VAR to rule against awarding a penalty.
57' Mexico 0-0 Ecuador
Arteaga has gone down in the box under contact from Torres and Mexico are appealing for a penalty!
VAR is reviewing the play. This could be a decisive moment in this match.
49' Jamaica 0-1 Venezuela
Venezuela take the lead against Jamaica in Austin, tightening their grip on top spot in this group. Eduard Bello is the scorer, ghosting in at the far post to nod Jon Aramburu's cross into the net. Bello is turning into a real big-game player for La Vinotinto: he also scored in the World Cup qualifier against Brazil last October, and got the winner against Ecuador last week.
Ecuador have already clinched a berth in the knockout stage, so this goal mostly serves to guarantee that it's second place that Mexico and Ecuador are playing for.

49' Jamaica 0-1 Venezuela
Gonzalez rushes out from Mexico's box and awkwardly plays the ball outside of the area, popping it up into the air. Ecuador appear for a moment to have a chance to fire on an open net, but Mexico's defense does enough to get in the way and end the danger.
Mexico quickly attack the other way and Huerta nearly breaks into the Ecuador box, but Pacho makes a perfect tackle to dispossess him.
46' Mexico 0-0 Ecuador
Ecuador kick off and we're back underway in Glendale!

Peter B.: Gonna be the usual. Slow, slow build up > lose ball > concede on the counter. Good old El Tri
Benjamin A.: This is one of the most physical games I have ever watched. Ref is letting a lot of contact go and I am loving it.
With both games 0-0 at halftime, nothing has changed from how the day started in Group B.
Venezuela are still set to secure first place in the group, while Ecuador are still in position to advance over Mexico.
One goal for Mexico is all it would take for them to move ahead of Ecuador though...
Halftime in Austin and it's still goalless between Jamaica and Venezuela. The closest we came to an opening goal was a few minutes ago, when Darwin Machis hit a looping cross-shot that forced Jahmali Waite into a smart stop.
Venezuela certainly look the more likely to score; Jamaica don't seem particularly up for this, with Michael Antonio in particular just out for a nice, slow Sunday walk in the Texas sun.

This is the 11th game out of 20 so far at this tournament that has gone to the halftime break without a goal.

Another chance for Gimenez goes begging. He gets a free header off from the center of the box but can't keep his effort low enough to hit the target.
45+1' Mexico 0-0 Ecuador
Just one minute is added on to the end of a relatively uneventful first half.
