Everton slipped to a 1-0 defeat against River Plate in their latest pre-season friendly.

An impudent lob from veteran Argentine Ariel Ortega gave the South American side victory over David Moyes' men in Edmonton.

Jo and Tim Cahill had the best chances for the Toffees - and James Vaughan also had a penalty appeal turned down - while Matias Abelairas struck the woodwork for River.
