Full time: Uruguay 0-1 Colombia

Colombia will play Argentina in the Copa America final on Sunday! They beat Uruguay in a frantic, desperate match in North Carolina. They were down to 10 men for more than half the game after Daniel Munoz was sent off, bur Uruguay lacked the wit and patience to unlock a ferociously determined defence.

The winning goal was scored in the first half by Jefferson Lerma, who headed James Rodriguez’s corner past Sergio Rochet.

Colombia’s celebrations are about as emotional as it gets – there are players in tears, and now theer’s a shoving match in the centre circle. Luis Suarez is in the thick of it. It couldn’t have ended any other way.
