Uruguay 0-1 Colombia: Copa América 2024 semi-final – as it happened | Copa América

03.59 CESTFull time: Uruguay 0-1 Colombia Colombia will play Argentina in the Copa America final on Sunday! They beat Uruguay in a frantic, desperate match in North Carolina. They were down to 10 men for more than half the game after Daniel Munoz was sent off, bur Uruguay lacked the wit and patience to unlock a ferociously determined defence.

The winning goal was scored in the first half by Jefferson Lerma, who headed James Rodriguez’s corner past Sergio Rochet.

Colombia’s celebrations are about as emotional as it gets – there are players in tears, and now theer’s a shoving match in the centre circle. Luis Suarez is in the thick of it. It couldn’t have ended any other way.

03.53 CEST 90+3 min: Fine save by Vargas! After some slick passing from Uruguay, De Arrascaeta curls a first-time shot from the edge of the area that is fingertipped over by Vargas.

The referee has given either a goalkick of a free-kick to Colombia, so maybe there was an offside in the buildup.

03.49 CEST 89 min “You’re up late,” says Liz White. “Disgusting/entertaining describes many, many of the Conmebol and Concacaf games I’ve watched over the years. If there’s no stoppage time given at the end, the chance of a bench clearing brawl isn’t 0.”

03.40 CEST 80 min Mina stays down after a fairly innocuous challenge from Suarez. Bielsa waves his hands in … I was going to say disgust but actually it’s disappointment. This isn’t the football of his romantic ideals, and that applies to both sides.

It’s been a confusing game – on one level wildly, guiltily entertaining, on another fairly disgusting.

03.30 CEST 71 min “I’m in New York and watched the first half in a bar with a Colombian crowd,” writes Scott Bassett. “When the goal went in, it was hysterics with shots of aguardiente and the dog at table three barking like mad as her owners hooted and hollered big time. Minutes later when the red was dished out, there was some muttering, but no real protests. I thought the first half was relatively clean, but it’s definitely devolved...

“Question: is it true that at the Euro there’s been a directive that only the captain can approach the ref? I feel like that could come in rather hand in this tourney too...”

There has indeed. Good luck trying that on a night like this, though.

02.50 CESTHalf time: Uruguay 0-1 Colombia Colombia are a goal up and a man down after an impassioned first half in North Carolina. Darwin Nunez missed two excellent chances for Uruguay before Jefferson Lerma headed Colombia ahead from James Rodriguez’s corner.

Daniel Munoz, perhaps Colombia’s best attacker, got carried away and was sent off for two yellow cards, though it’s still not clear whether VAR was used correctly. Colombia are still fuming as they go off at half-time.
