Colombia Defeats Uruguay with 10 Men

Colombia has advanced to the semi-finals of the Copa America after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Uruguay.

The match was a closely contested affair, with both sides having chances to score. However, it was Colombia who took the lead in the 73rd minute when Jefferson Lerma scored the winner. Uruguay pushed for an equalizer, but Colombia held on with 10 men after Juan Cuadrado was sent off in the 83rd minute.

The victory is a major boost for Colombia, who are now one step closer to winning their first Copa America title since 2001. Uruguay, meanwhile, will be disappointed to have been eliminated at this stage, but they can take solace in the fact that they played well against a strong Colombian side.

The semi-final match will be played on Wednesday, July 6th, at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile. Colombia will face the winner of the quarterfinal match between Argentina and Venezuela.
