Colombia secures a 1-0 victory over Uruguay and advances to face Argentina in Copa America final

Colombia secured a 1-0 victory over Uruguay in the Copa America, with Jefferson Lerma scoring the sole goal in the 39th minute. Despite playing a man down for the entire second half after Daniel Muñoz was sent off with a second yellow card just before halftime, Colombia managed to hold on and secure a spot in the final against Argentina led by Lionel Messi. This marks Colombia’s first time reaching the championship since their 2001 victory as hosts. The team also set a new record with an unbeaten streak of 28 games, surpassing the previous milestone set from 1992-1994, making it the longest current streak in men’s soccer.
The match was a heated one with a total of seven yellow cards and one red card shown. It ended with both teams involved in a scuffle on the field, and some players even engaging with fans in the stands. The final between defending champions Argentina and Colombia is set to take place in Miami Gardens, Florida, on Sunday night.
