Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez was sent-off as Argentina suffered their first defeat of the World Cup qualifying campaign as Colombia fought back from a goal down to secure a 2-1 victory yesterday.

Tevez saw red after 24 minutes after clashing with Colombia defender Ruben Bustos before Lionel Messi’s brilliant solo goal handed Argentina the lead 10 minutes later.

Bustos curled home a brilliant second half free-kick to level the match before Dairo Moreno converted Freddy Grisales’ 82nd minute cross to maintain Colombia’s unbeaten start to the campaign.
