Colombia Advance to Copa América Final
0-0 Draw Against Uruguay Sends "Los Cafeteros" to Title Match
Munoz's Header Misses Target, Diaz's Cross Falls Short
Colombia has advanced to the Copa América final following a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Uruguay at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. The match was a tense affair, with both teams creating chances but unable to find the back of the net.
Colombia's best chance came in the first half when Luis Diaz floated a cross into the far side of the box for Miguel Borja. Borja's header, however, went just wide of the post.
Uruguay had their own chances, with Edinson Cavani coming close on several occasions. However, the Colombian defense held firm, and the match eventually went to a penalty shootout.
In the shootout, Colombia goalkeeper David Ospina saved two Uruguay attempts, while James Rodriguez and Juan Cuadrado scored for "Los Cafeteros." The victory sends Colombia to their first Copa América final since 2001, where they will face either Argentina or Brazil.
