Argentina coach Jose Brown last night said that the red card which reduced his side to 10 men in the second half after referee Wolfgang Stark gave Esteban Espindola the marching order was responsible for the Albicelesties 3-2 loss to Colombia at Ijebu Ode in one of yesterday's round of 16 matches.
RSL was down on the strength of two Schelotto goals by the 35th minute and it appeared as if Crew would be able to get over the one goal disadvantage and advance to the quarter finals. But RSL struck back from a Javier Morales goal two minutes later. Ten minutes later, RSL were awarded a penalty by referee Baldemero Toledo, a dubious call on Frankie Hejduk as Espindola went down a bit too easily....

... it out so quick. The frame with the ball wasn’t as beautiful as this one, so ball go bye. Fabian Espindola— as Rick Egan would say— takes a tumble. Robbie Findley scored a late goal for the win. It was a great goal, but it just wasn’t a great photo, so I went with this one showing the fan reaction to Findley. After the game I tracked Findley and got this moment.
