Bielsa back under fire after 1-0 loss
(HK Edition)
Updated: 2004-07-12 07:23

Argentina coach Marcelo Bielsa was back under pressure again after his team crashed to a 1-0 defeat against Mexico in the Copa America on Saturday.

Uruguay, inspired by an excellent performance from Diego Forlan, beat Ecuador 2-1 for their first win under coach Jorge Fossati while Peru captain Claudio Pizarro was ruled out of the rest of the tournament with a head injury.

Bielsa has become increasingly unpopular with Argentina fans recently and there is speculation he might not survive a poor Copa America.

He enjoyed a brief respite after his team began with a 6-1 demolition of Ecuador but warned at the time that it would only last until the next game.

Mexico, coached by former Argentina goalkeeper Ricardo Lavolpe, went ahead when Ramon Morales curled a 25-metre free kick past Rodolfo Abbondanzieri in the ninth minute and then let their opponents chase the game.

Argentina dominated the rest of the match but could not turn their superiority into goals.

"We didn't win because we failed to score any of our chances and the opponents had two chances, of which they converted one," Bielsa told reporters with exactly the same blank expression he wore after the win over Ecuador.

"Argentina did enough to win the game but we didn't overcame an obstacle, having done enough to have overcome it, and that is normal in football," he added, staring blankly at the ground.

Lavolpe also came into the Copa under pressure and has announced that his current job will be his last coaching a professional team. But he appeared to have no regrets about beating his homeland.

"I was born in Argentina but I've been in Mexico for 25 years," he said. "Mexico has given me a lot."

Uruguay coach Fossati, however, had mixed feelings after the win over Ecuador - the country where he spent the last year coaching Liga de Quito before being appointed in April.

Several of his former Liga players were on the opposing side.

"On the one hand, it's given me enormous happiness to win at last. On the other, we were playing against a country to which I'm very grateful and for which I have a lot of affection," he said.

Striker Carlos Bueno scrambled the winner in the 78th minute, his second goal in two successive games.

Forlan had put Uruguay ahead in the 61st minute with his ninth goal in 18 internationals but substitute Franklin Salas equalized in the 73rd.
