La Celeste cruised through the group stage (9 of 9 points) with just a single goal conceded (to Panama in their opener), but they had to face Brazil in the last eight because they won just one of three games in Group D and Colombia finished top. It was the first time Uruguay had been held scoreless at this Copa America after scoring nine times in group play, but they prevailed in penalty kicks and sent the pre-tournament favorites home.

Colombia, meanwhile, were busy putting five goals past surprise quarterfinalists Pamana and waltzing in the final four. No one from Los Cafeteros has scored more than twice this tournament, but three players, including Liverpool’s Luis Diaz, have two goals apiece.

Colombia focus, team news The big story is the return of Big Tournament James Rodriguez, who has assisted five of Colombia’s 10 goals thus far (to go with the one he scored himself). Defender Jhon Lucumi remains an injury doubt after picking up a knock early in the group-stage opener.
