NewsCopa America: Luis Diaz scores as Colombia and Uruguay set up semi-final clash
Diaz started for Colombia in Arizona as they impressed with a 5-0 defeat of Panama and the Liverpool forward delivered his country’s third strike of the night shortly before half-time.
Racing in behind to collect a pass, the No.7 lifted a precise lob over the goalkeeper and into the net from the edge of the box.
Jhon Cordoba, James Rodriguez, Richard Rios and Miguel Borja were also on the scoresheet for Los Cafeteros, with Diaz withdrawn from proceedings in minute 65.
Elsewhere in the quarter-finals, Nunez’s Uruguay met Alisson Becker’s Brazil in Las Vegas and both Reds started the contest, which ended 0-0.
Alisson made one excellent save during the subsequent penalty shootout but it was Uruguay who won out, 4-2, to advance.
Uruguay and Colombia will now face each other in the last four, with their meeting set for the early hours of Thursday morning.
