Tevez guests at Palermo farewell

Carlos Tevez was a guest but did not play in his former Argentina team-mate Martin Palermo’s farewell match tonight in Buenos Aires.

There had been reports that Manchester City striker Tevez had agreed to play in the benefit game for Boca Juniors favourite Palermo at the Bombonera stadium. Striker Palermo retired last year, and the 38-year-old was feted by many former team-mates.
