La Celeste defeated the mighty Brazil in the last match.
Uruguay and Colombia will face off against each other in the second semi-final of the Copa America 2024 to book their place in the final in Florida. Uruguay defeated Brazil in the quarter-final in the penalty shootout. On the other hand, Colombia scored five goals against Panama and managed to keep a clean sheet.
Uruguay have shown that they have one of the best defences in Copa America by not allowing Brazil to score in the entire 120 minutes. Ronald Araujo, their best defender, suffered an injury in the first half and Nahitan Nandez received a red card in the second half. In the penalty shootout, Sergio Rochet saved Eder Militia’s penalty kick and Douglas Luis did not hit the target.
On the other hand, Federico Valverde, Rodrigo Bentancur, Giorgian de Arrascaeta and Manuel Ugarte managed to score their penalties and did not allow the penalty miss of Jose Giminez to affect them.
Colombia managed to put five past Panama in the quarter-finals courtesy of James Rodriguez, Jhon Cordoba, Luis Diaz, Richard Rios and Miguel Borja. They created a record of their biggest margin win in any Copa America game. Moreover, they have gone 27 games without losing any game.
Los Cafeteros last lost a game in a February 2022 World Cup qualifier against Argentina. If they manage to win the semi-final, then they will script history and create a record for the longest stretch of games without suffering any defeat.
