The Story in 60 Seconds

Celtic forward Camilo Duran was denied his first Colombia goal after Peru defender Miguel Araujo received a red card for hacking him down. Duran had stolen the ball and charged toward goal during Colombia's 2-0 friendly win over Peru. Manager Nestor Lorenzo gave Duran 30 minutes of action as a false nine operating off striker Kevin Viveros.
