Argentina back on ground level

Mexico brought Argentina crashing back to earth when a brilliant Ramon Morales free kick was enough to give them a 1-0 victory in their Copa America Group B match on Saturday.
Uruguay, inspired by an excellent performance from Diego Forlan, beat Ecuador 2-1 for their first win under coach Jorge Fossati ARGENTINA 0; MEXICO 1 Argentina's defeat will put the pressure back on Argentina coach Marcelo Bielsa after it had been briefly lifted with Wednesday's 6-1 demolition of Ecuador.
Bielsa has become increasingly unpopular with Argentine fans and there is speculation he may not survive a poor tournament.
Argentina, who dropped to third in the group with three points from two games behind Uruguay and Mexico, never managed to find the flowing football they produced against Ecuador.
Javier Saviola, who scored a hattrick on Wednesday, produced only fleeting patches of his best form.
Argentina made a bright start but were stunned in the ninth minute when Morales opened the scoring with a swerving free kick which flew into the top corner past helpless goalkeeper Roberto Abbondanzieri.
The goal unsettled the Argentines, who resorted to some rough tackling to halt the Mexican counter attacks.
Jesus Arellano, in particular, was a menace to the Argentines almost every time he got the ball.
Mexico had an excellent chance to increase their lead just before halftime when Jared Borgetti was first to Pavel Pardo's free kick, but his header was weak and easily saved.
Almost immediately at the other end, Argentine striker Cesar Delgado popped up unmarked on the right to meet a floated cross from Andres D'Alessandro but he fired his effort over the crossbar.
Argentina took control after halftime, forcing a flurry of corners in the first quarter of an hour.
They were twice denied by goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez, who blocked a shot by Luis Gonzalez and then brilliantly pushed away Roberto Ayala's header following a corner.
After that, the Argentine storm blew itself out. Mexico had one last scare when substitute Luciano Figueroa headed just wide from a Cristian Gonzalez cross.

"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 2; ECUADOR 1
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 successive games.
Forlan had put Uruguay ahead in the 61st minute with his ninth goal in 18 internationals but substitute Franklin Salas equalised in the 73rd.
Uruguay captain Paolo Montero, who has made his international comeback at the tournament after a two-year absence, picked up one of his routine suspensions when he received his second yellow card in consecutive games in the first half.
He later limped off complaining of a pain in his leg.
Uruguay and Mexico have four points each, Argentina three and Ecuador none.
