Description

This is the fully-customizable short-sleeve home kit for Mexico’s 1995 Copa America campaign.

In 1995, Mexico participated in the Copa America held in Uruguay, donning their iconic green jerseys with pride. This tournament marked Mexico’s third invitation to the prestigious South American championship, and the team, managed by Miguel Mejía Barón, aimed to make a substantial impact.

Mexico was placed in Group A alongside Uruguay, Paraguay, and Venezuela. The tournament kicked off with a challenging match against Paraguay on July 6, 1995, where Mexico narrowly lost 2-1. Despite Luis García’s opening goal in the 44th minute, Paraguay’s Cardozo and Samaniego struck back, highlighting areas for improvement in Mexico’s defense.

In their second group stage match on July 9, Mexico faced Venezuela and showcased their attacking prowess. With two penalty goals from Luis García and a strike from Missael Espinoza, Mexico secured a convincing 3-1 victory, despite an own goal by Jorge Campos. This win reinvigorated the team’s confidence and boosted their chances of advancing.

The final group match against the hosts, Uruguay, took place on July 13, 1995. In a tightly contested game, Luis García once again proved crucial, scoring in the 67th minute. However, Uruguay equalized through Saralegui, resulting in a 1-1 draw. This outcome allowed Mexico to advance to the knockout stages as the third-placed team in their group.

In the quarter-finals, Mexico faced the United States on July 17, 1995. The match ended in a goalless draw, leading to a penalty shootout. Unfortunately, Mexico struggled under the pressure, with crucial misses by Carlos Hermosillo and Alberto Coyote. The United States emerged victorious with a 4-1 penalty scoreline, knocking Mexico out of the tournament.

Despite their exit, Mexico’s performance in the 1995 Copa America was notable for several reasons. The team demonstrated resilience and the ability to compete against some of the top footballing nations. Key players like Luis García and Jorge Campos made significant contributions, while the tournament also provided valuable experience for the squad in international competition.
