Venezuela is likely to face Argentina in the Copa America Centenario quarterfinals following a 1-1 draw with Mexico on Monday night.

Venezuela coach Rafael Dudamel was left with mixed emotions following his side's 1-1 draw with Mexico at the Copa America Centenario on Monday.

A win for Venezuela would have sealed top spot in Group C and Jose Velazquez's first-half overhead kick had the South Americans on their way.

But substitute Jesus Corona scored a brilliant solo goal with 10 minutes left to level, which meant Mexico finished top of the group.

The draw means Venezuela is likely to face Argentina in the quarterfinals, while Mexico will be left with either defending champion Chile or Panama.
