As part of the 1/2 final of the Copa America, Argentina will play with Colombia. Who will make it to the final?
Argentina
Argentina started the tournament with a 1-1 draw with Chile, and then achieved four consecutive victories. The victory march began with Victoria over Uruguay (1-0), and then Paraguay (1-0) and Bolivia (4-1) were defeated in turn in the group stage, as well as Ecuador (3-0), already in the quarterfinals. If at the start of the tournament the Argentines acted modestly at someone else's gate, scoring three goals in three games, then in the previous two matches the performance increased significantly - seven goals.
Colombia
Colombia is still acting, to put it mildly, unconvincingly. The Colombians came out of the group from the third place, having scored only four points in four matches. In the opening round, the Colombians coped with Ecuador (1-0), and in the next three they remained without victories: 0-0 with Venezuela, 1-2 with Peru and 1-2 with Brazil. In the quarterfinals, Colombia had to try hard to stay in the tournament, because Uruguay had a serious resistance and was beaten only in a penalty shootout - 0: 0 in the game, 4: 2 on penalties.
