Manchester City fans didn't have to wait long to see new signing Maximo Perrone in action after his signing was confirmed on Monday, as he represented Argentina overnight at the South American Under-20 Championship.
Midfielder Perrone, signed for £8.2m from Velez Sarsfield on a five-and-a-half year contract at the Etihad, is Argentina's number six at the tournament in Colombia, and scored in their opening game defeat by Paraguay. That meant that Javier Mascherano's youngsters had to improve against rivals Brazil last night, but things didn't go to plan.
After falling a goal behind, Argentina missed a first-half penalty, before Perrone gave the ball away in midfield to allow Brazil to break and double their lead.
