Copa América Recap: Colombia Sink Argentina as VAR Denies Peru in Draw With Venezuela

Super-subs Roger Martínez and Duvan Zapata scored the goals that gave Colombia the perfect start to their Copa América campaign, with a 2-0 win over Argentina. It was a bitterly disappointing performance from Lionel Scaloni's side who will need to bounce back quickly against Paraguay to keep their aspirations of making it out of Group B alive.

Meanwhile in Group A, Peru had two goals disallowed by VAR as they drew 0-0 against ten-man Venezuela. It was Venezuelan goalkeeper Wuilker Fariñez who was the hero late on, as his incredible goal-line save denied Edison Flores and ensured a share of the spoils.
