NewsInternationals: Alisson Becker, Luis Diaz and Alexis Mac Allister play overnight
Luis Diaz’s Colombia came out on top in a meeting with Alexis Mac Allister and Argentina in a World Cup qualifier overnight.
Liverpool forward Diaz started and finished the match in Baranquilla, which finished 2-1 to the hosts thanks to a penalty converted on the hour by James Rodriguez.
Diaz’s club-mate Mac Allister was introduced from the visitors’ bench shortly after Rodriguez’s goal, but Colombia would claim a victory that puts them two points adrift of Argentina at the top of the South American qualification section.
Elsewhere, Alisson Becker played in Brazil’s 1-0 loss to Paraguay in Asuncion and Academy midfielder Kyle Kelly came on as a substitute as St. Kitts and Nevis beat the British Virgin Islands 2-0.
