Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The host nation were lucky to escape with a point after Los Cafeteros (The Coffee Growers as Colombia are known) wasted a host of chances to win the game.
Colombia dominated almost from the off and Chelsea target Radamel Falcao forced Argentina custodian Sergio Romero to a first then a second good save. Adrián Ramos could not convert a half-chance from a Moreno cross before Moreno himself inexplicably shot wide just before the interval with an open goal gaping.
Colombia continued in the same vein throughout the second-half and looked much the more likely to score, but could not make their dominance count.
Argentina finished the game with Messi, Carlos Tevez, Gonzalo Higuaín and Sergio Agüero on the pitch in a desperate attempt to find a goal but were unable to do so.
At the final whistle, Argentina were booed by their own fans at first division Colon's stadium in Santa Fe.
With two unconvincing performances and just two points from their two group games so far, the match against Costa Rica on Monday becomes a must win for the hosts.
