Colombia that è remained in numerical inferiority for the entire second half, accomplice to the red to Munoz in the recovery of the first half.

Chaos in the post match with Uruguay players who went to the stands to defend their families, besieged by Colombian fans: "It was a disaster, there were no police and we had to defend our families", the words of Gimenez reported by ESPN.

Thanks to this success, which is worth the final with Messi's Argentina, Colombia&#39s unbeaten streak rises to 28 games. The last defeat was in February 2022, coincidentally against Argentina.

Argentina, should it win the Copa America, would equal Spain&#39s record of winning three consecutive international titles and rise to an impressive 16 Copa America editions won (surpassing Uruguay, currently at 15). The last obstacle will be Colombia itself (it won the Copa America only once, in 2001). Maximum confidence in James Rodriguez, great protagonist in the tournament and key man of the Colombian national team.
