Guardado earns Mexico win against Chile

Andres Guardado scored the only goal as Mexico edged out Chile in an
international friendly played in Barcelona.

The Deportivo La Coruna winger curled home a free-kick with 11 minutes to go to settle a low-key encounter played at the Estadi Cornella-El Prat, the home of Espanyol.

A raft of second-half substitutions improved the fare on show after a poor opening half.

Guardado - himself a replacement - scored what proved to be the winner from 20 yards after Pablo Barrera was fouled on the edge of the Chile
box.
