Blues forward Julio Enciso played the first 85 minutes as Paraguay beat Colombia 1-0 in a friendly in New Jersey overnight.

Enciso, 22, was winning his 39th full cap and is now set to return to the Blues with the Paraguayans not having another game during this break.

La Albirroja will be pleased with their efforts after winning both US-based friendlies, Bolivia having been defeated 2-0 in their opening match.

Elsewhere, Blues youngster Sid Eldred, 18, scored his first Northern Ireland U19s goal and picked up his third Northern Ireland cap as the side coached by ex-Town defender Gareth McAuley was beaten 2-1 by Belgium during their training camp in Spain.
