Round-upCopa America: Diaz scores as Colombia qualify for last eight and a win for Alisson's Brazil
By Glenn Price
The attacker opened the scoring from the spot in his nation's 3-0 win over Costa Rica that sealed progression to the tournament's knockout rounds with a game to spare.
Diaz's goal was followed by efforts from Davinson Sanchez and Jhon Cordoba in the second half, with Liverpool's No.7 then withdrawn from the contest in minute 77.
Elsewhere in Group D, Alisson Becker was a starter for Brazil in their 4-1 victory against Paraguay.
The goalkeeper made a sensational save to deny Damian Bobodilla early on, before Vinicius Junior's first-half double and a finish from Savio put the Seleção on their way.
A draw against Colombia in the early hours of Wednesday would guarantee Brazil's advancement to the last eight.
