Question

How Many times in past years has peru beaten mexico?

Answer 1

Mexico a long time ago didn't have a great team. In more recent years (since 1986), Mexico has become a great contender for any tournament. Peru's story is the exact opposite.

Peru had an extraordinary team from far back up to 1982, their best years between 1968-1982, going to World Cup 1970, 1978 and 1982 ( missing WC 1974 to a third and final game against Chile in neutral territory).

The only time Peru beat Mexico in recent years, was in Copa America 2001 (1-0) in group stage, they both qualified but Peru was soon eliminated an Mexico ended 2nd place.

In Copa America 1999 Peru and Mexico met in 2nd stage and finished 3-3 but Mexico won on penalty kicks finishing the tournament in 3rd place.

In Copa America 1997 they both lost in semi-finals and Mexico beat Peru for 3rd place (1-0)

Also in 1997 they played the US CUP (only 4 teams: USA, Mexico, Peru & Denmark) Mexico won the tournament by tiying the last game against Peru (0-0).

So, the answer would be, only once in Copa America 2001. But Mexico is by far more succesfull and they're getting better every time.   ;(
