Story summary

On Tuesday in Los Angeles, Chile beat Mexico 2-0 with goals from Maximiliano Gutiérrez and Vicente Pizarro after halftime. This loss deepens the struggles for Mexican coach Rafael Márquez, who has now led his team to a winless four-match tour in the U.S., including draws against Colombia and Peru. It's the worst start for a Mexican national team coach since 1981 when Raúl Cárdenas began with nine games without a victory. Márquez, formerly a Barcelona player and five-time World Cup captain, took over from Javier Aguirre after the World Cup where Mexico was eliminated in the Round of 16. His first win is anticipated next November against Jamaica in a CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal series.
