Colombia 0 Argentina 0: South American rivals play out draw

Argentina maintained their long unbeaten run against Colombia after a 0-0 friendly draw between the nations in New Jersey.

Despite an entertaining first half at MetLife Stadium, the two understrength South American sides were unable to find a breakthrough.

Argentina – without Lionel Messi – were perhaps the better side for the most part, but Colombia also had their chances on Tuesday.

But under interim coaches Lionel Scaloni and Arturo Reyes, the teams played out a draw, leaving Colombia without a win against Argentina since 2007.

Argentina looked the more dangerous side in the opening stages, and Exequiel Palacios forced a good save from David Ospina in the seventh minute.
