Copa America: Aturo Vidal arrested

Sergio Aguero reignited Argentina's Copa America campaign with the only goal in a 1-0 victory over historic rivals Uruguay as the tournament was rocked by the arrest of Chile star Arturo Vidal for drink driving after a car crash.

Aguero bagged his second goal of the tournament in the 56th minute of a niggly battle between the 1930 World Cup finalists in their 199th meeting.

The result leaves Argentina firmly on course to winning Group B, with only one game left against tournament minnows Jamaica, beaten 1-0 by Paraguay in last Tuesday's early game.

But the action on the pitch was overshadowed late Tuesday by the revelations concerning Chile midfielder Vidal.

Vidal, who became the top scorer for the tournament last Monday with three goals after bagging a brace in the hosts 3-3 draw with Mexico, was detained by police after testing positive for alcohol following a late night crash.

Vidal, who was traveling with his wife when the accident occurred, suffered "minor injuries" but his wife's wounds were described by police colonel Ricardo Gonzalez as "moderately serious". — AFP
