El Tiempo, June 18, 2015
“Victory and revenge,” reads the front page of today’s El Tiempo, after Colombia enjoyed a dramatic victory over Brazil at the Copa America Wednesday night. It was Brazil’s first loss to Colombia since 1991, leaving the two teams tied at the top of Group C with three points, along with Venezuela, which will take on Peru Thursday.
Colombia defeated Brazil 1-0, following a strike at the 36-minute mark by Colombian central defender Jeison Murillo. Brazilian player Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior was given a red card after the final whistle over an altercation with Colombian Carlos Bacca, which is being hailed as the latest example of referees singling out the player.
