Colombia secured a 1-0 victory against Uruguay in the Copa America semifinal on Wednesday, despite being reduced to 10 men in the second half. Jefferson Lerma's header in the first half proved to be the decisive goal, setting up a final clash with the reigning champions, Argentina.
Uruguay had a numerical advantage when Colombia's Daniel Munoz was dismissed at the end of the first half, but they failed to capitalize on it. Darwin Nunez squandered three excellent scoring opportunities early in the match, curling one effort inches wide and failing to hit the target with two other attempts.
