Colombia 0-3 Uruguay: Edinson Cavani on target as Manchester United striker scores again while Everton's Yerry Mina is sent off for hosts

Uruguay's Edinson Cavani scored early and fellow striker Luis Suarez converted a second-half penalty, his fourth in three games for his country, as they beat Colombia 3-0 in Friday's World Cup qualifier.

Cavani, who scored for Manchester United against Everton last weekend, got the opener for Uruguay in the fifth minute after Nahitan Nandez had done the hard work in midfield by robbing the ball and setting him up to fire home a low right-foot shot.

Suarez then added to the lead nine minutes into the second period when he scored from the spot after Jeison Murillo brought down Rodrigo Bentancur.
