Copa América 2015: Brazil 0-1 Colombia – as it happened


Brazil have lost their second Copa America Group C encounter 1-0 to Colombia following Jeison Murillo's first-half strike.

The victory was only Colombia's third in 28 meetings with Brazil, while they had only beaten their neighbours once before in a competitive fixture - a 2-0 triumph at the 1991 Copa America.

Neymar Jr. picked up a foolish red card after Brazil’s 1-0 loss to Colombia on Wednesday in Santiago, Chile, which means he’ll miss the team’s final group game against Venezuela on Sunday. Lose that match, and Brazil is in danger of a shock exit from the competition.
