Copa America 2024: Uruguay looks to slow down surging Colombia entering semifinals

The Hindu  

Uruguay is two wins away from a record-setting 16th Copa America title. “It is a team that has been working together for a while, and that allows them to have a good start together,” said Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielsa. “Both teams are going to adjust.” While it may not have been pretty, the win moved Uruguay a step closer to reaching the finals for the first time since winning it all 13 years ago. “Of course it gives us confidence because we eliminated Brazil,” said Uruguay midfielder Maximiliano Araujo. “In games you imagine him attacking and preventing the opponent from attacking.” Colombia is looking to advance to the championship game for the first time since 2001 when it beat Brazil 1-0.
