The last two tickets for the last four were up for grabs this past Saturday. Colombia impressed and Panama blew awayyes. In a very tough game, Uruguay lost to Brazil on penalties.
The IS Colombia it was expected in light Panamaon. Without Lerma, suspended, Néstor Lorenzo preferred the experience of Mateus Uribe to Kevin Castaño. In front without Cocoa Carrasquilla, Thomas Christiansen had almost the same eleven as the one against Bolivia and the only change was Roderick Miller starting in central defence. We were waiting for an open game between two playing teams, Panamaon having suggested interesting things against theUruguay as an opening, we mainly recited. Let’s close our eyes and go back ten years. James is not very old.
The selection coffee maker it took less than fifteen minutes to make the difference. As a good captain, James led by example. Author of three assists since the start of the competition, the number ten quickly added a fourth. His perfectly taken corner found the head of Jhon Córdoba after less than ten minutes. Almost immediately Jhon Arias received a very high ball and went to challenge Orlando Mosquera. While the player Fluminense after pushing his ball a little too far the Panamanian goalkeeper arrived late and took it down. Incomprehensible punishment and transformation by the same James. Back on the wall Canaleros tried to respond and came close to reducing the gap with a header from Roderick Miller who headed into the post. The train had gone. The rest was just a performance by Néstor Lorenzo’s players. Just before the break James played a quick free-kick and completed his fifth bid of the Copa América for Luis Díaz to score a superb lob. Eighth overall in the four editions he played, making him the best passer in the history of the Colombia in Copa América on The child Valderrama. In the free raid, Colombia completely mastered the second period and never trembled. In excellent form since the start of the tournament, Richard Rios took advantage of a slightly confused move to score his first goal in the official competition with a powerful long-range strike as the Italian referee was on the verge of awarding a penalty for a foul on Daniel Munoz. Way ahead of the coach, he was able to blow all the frames. Coming forward Miguel Borja also took part in the party and converted a penalty at the end of extra time, a penalty that Santiago Arias received (who was also in the group in 2014, there are five in total, James, Arias, Ospina, Vargas). and Quintero). With twenty-seven games without a win the Colombia equal to his record, a record that goes back to the period 1992/1994 but the balance was thirteen wins out of fourteen draws (twenty wins out of six draws in the current period). The numbers are getting worse ahead of Wednesday’s semi-final.
We had an hour to get out of the football orgy before diving into this Uruguay–Brazilthe first between the two nations in straight elimination since the 2007 Copa América semi-finals, the Brazilians won on penalties before winning theArgentina at the end. Matches between the two neighborhoods are rare in the beautiful game. Especially since the only player who could set the stadium on fire, Vinicius Junior, was suspended after his goal against the Colombia. So we expected a choppy game, we got it. More than forty fouls, four warnings, one expulsion, the contrast to the previous game was brutal. The first half set the tone and was poor in dangerous situations, a header from Darwin Núñez deflected by Éder Militão and that was it. The fault in particular of a Brazil who played with a very low block and cut spaces. We thought for a moment that the game was going to end with three chances in quick succession, but in vain. Twice Raphinha came across the excellent Sergio Rochet and Darwin Núñez, although in an ideal position, was unable to take advantage of Nahitan Nández’s offer. In order not to surprise the movements of Raphinha, Rodrygo and Endrick, Marcelo Bielsa made a change at the break with the entry of Sebastián Cáceres and Mathías Olivera slipped to the left. Very exciting weather, not very exciting, the first turn at this meeting was fifteen minutes from the end. Author of a very bold tackle on Rodrygo, Dario Herrera, the Argentinian referee, first warned Nahitan Nández, before they were invited to review the images. Sanction without appeal and a logical red that clearly set back the Celeste This allowed Endrick, who was leading, to warm Rochet’s gloves before the inevitable penalty. Captain Federico Valverde won the toss and elected to shoot first. A profitable choice since he changed his effort, his Éder Militão clubmate Shine Rochet did. Yes Selection did not survive, Douglas Luiz found the job and despite the loss from José María Giménez (who had already lost against the Colombia during the previous edition), in fact it was the Uruguayans who qualified thanks to the effort of Manuel Ugarte. A quality that will perhaps have a bitter taste since Nahitan Nández will be suspended and Ronald Araújo seems very uncertain after his muscle injury that forced him out before the break.
